<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>When Vivian is disrespectful to the trees and the land, Grandma relates the Paitue legend of the trickster god Sinawav the coyote who turned the bad Old Ones into stone columns.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Long ago, the Old Ones were bad. They drank all the water, ate all the pine nuts, and left nothing for the other creatures. Sinawav the coyote punished them by turning them into rocky hoodoos. Now when children misbehave, their Paiute elders remind them that they too could be turned into stone columns! Vivian has heard the stories, but this year as she and her grandmother climb the mesa to pick pine nuts, Vivian has something more important on her mind: basketball tryouts. When Vivian is disrespectful to the trees and the land, her grandmother must remind Vivian of the legend of the hoodoos and how nature has made it possible for her people to live.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Since childhood, Phyllis Saroff has brought together her loves of science and art. In addition to Vivian and the Legend of the Hoodoos, Tuktuk: Tundra Tale, and Sounds of the Savanna, Phyllis has illustrated nonfiction books about the natural world such as Teeth and Mary Anning: Fossil Hunter.
