From the Dust Jacket: "Some of the most exquisite paintings Caldecott Medalist Paul Goble has yet created add to the power of this transcendent book. It shares a vision of heaven that offers timeless comfort and reassurance to readers of all ages. This is a spiritual journey that begins as an Indian grandmother lies dying in her tipi, surrounded by her loved ones. Her family's sorrow is tempered by the thought that Grandmother is climbing to the world 'beyond the ridge' - a world much like this one, but filled with more beauty and abundance. There she will be greeted by buffalo and butterflies. Paul Goble's portrayal of a lush natural world, his profound understanding of the Plains Indian culture, his selection of Plains Indian prayers for inclusion, and his sensitive melding of story and art add to the richness of the experience offered here.". First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover. As New condition/As New dust jacket. Unpaged (but 32pp).
