About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the concept of sacrifice or needs to understand how one small person can make a massive difference for their community. This gentle Comanche legend follows She-Who-Is-Alone, a young girl who loses her family to a famine and chooses to sacrifice her most precious possession to save her people. It is a profound exploration of empathy, letting go, and the transformative power of a selfless heart. Ideal for children aged 4 to 9, Tomie dePaola's masterpiece provides a culturally respectful entry point into indigenous folklore. Parents will appreciate how it frames 'giving' not as a chore, but as a path to healing and belonging. It is especially resonant for children who may feel overlooked or small, showing them that their choices carry great weight and beauty.
