A small blue bead hidden in a clump of dry grass takes the reader back ten thousand years to the hunters and gatherers who once inhabited the desert and to a boy who dreams that others, as yet unseen, may share his world. His dream is realized as he has an encounter with a boy just like himself, and the blue bead comes to symbolize their special bond. Full color.

About the author

Byrd Baylor lives and writes in Arizona, presenting images of the Southwest and an intense connection between the land and the people. Her prose illustrates vividly the value of simplicity, the natural world, and the balance of life within it.

Ron Himler lives in Tucson, Arizona. An interest in American Indian culture first brought Mr. Himler to the southwest, and his work often features western subjects as well as historical themes. His paintings are frequently exhibited in galleries in the southwest. Ron Himler has illustrated more than seventy-five children's books.
