<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The untold story of a Native American Indian potter who changed her field.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The most renowned Native American Indian potter of her time, Maria Povika Martinez learned pottery as a child under the guiding hands of her ko-ōo, her aunt. She grew up to discover a new firing technique that turned her pots black and shiny, and made them--and Maria--famous. This inspiring story of family and creativity illuminates how Maria's belief in sharing her love of clay brought success and joy from her New Mexico Pueblo to people all across the country.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>STARRED REVIEW! This story of a young girl from San Ildefonso Pueblo...celebrates the strong sense of culture and identity the Tewa people have maintained through the centuries. Aphelandra...paints with the hues of the Rio Grande's turquoise waters, orange pottery fires, pink sandstone sunsets, and the obsidian black clay of Maria's pots; the result is earthy and elemental, containing the spirit of the New Mexican landscape. A deserved celebration.--<em>Kirkus Reviews </em>starred review</p><br><br><p>STARRED REVIEW! Through masterful storytelling and graceful illustrations, this impactful title embodies Maria Povika Martinez's famous words: 'The Great Spirit gave me [hands] that work...but not for myself, for all Tewa people.'--<em>School Library Journal</em> starred review</p><br><br><p>The prose is accessibly authored by Gonzales, the eldest great-grandchild of the Martinezes, and Freeman, whose childhood was informed by her Osage grandmother's collection of art. Aphelandra adds vibrant, subtly textured spreads to this profile of an arts pioneer.<em>--Publishers Weekly</em></p><br>
