Dreambirds

Readers of all ages will be deeply moved by David Ogden's inspiring story and Jody Bergsma's uniquely powerful illustrations of Northwest wildlife. Natsama, a Native american boy, loves visiting his grandmother, Holima, the medicine woman. On his seventh birthday, she tells him about dreambirds. "At the beginning and ending of every day, dreambirds spread their wings. One wing reaches out to the sun, and the other reaches out to the moon. Whoever finds a dreambird receives a great gift".

Determined to find his dreambird and claim his gift, Natsama seeks out the best hunters in the village, who teach him the ways of animals, birds, and fish. But since the dreambird is not of this world, he must overcome many obstacles before finally discovering the power and wonder of his own spirit.
