Description
Description
A thought-provoking picture book about the ways we create our own realities through the words and actions that we put out into the world.
In the early morning hours, two young children go on a journey of discovery with their grandfather, a great chief. After offering prayers to Creator, Grandfather leads Aiyanna and Little Wolf separately to the river gorge to meet the Echo People. There, surrounded by the beauty of Mother Earth, the children connect with the Echo People in a way that reveals something about themselves and learn a valuable lesson that will guide them throughout their lives.
Winner of Lee & Low's New Voices award, The Echo People gently teaches young readers that if we meet the world with love and kindness then that kindness is echoed back to us.

Critical Reviews
"Begay's (Navajo Nation) magnificent, earth-toned illustrations establish a dreamy setting, supporting each word of Youngwolf's (Tsalagiyi Nvdagi) inviting story.... A visually appealing and carefully told tale that will linger." -- Kirkus Reviews
