Synopsis
Taos Pueblo artist Jonathan Warm Day depicts scenes from Pueblo life drawn from his many childhood memories, following his people through the four seasons in story and art. His intricate and brilliantly colored original paintings illuminate the gentle textual passages that describe a culture with traditions and customs now part of the heritage of the Natives of Taos. This is a book to be cherished by children and adults alike. ?[Warm Day] is committed, therefore, to preserving his cultural heritage as best he can through his paintings, faithful as they are to both the timeless and the momentary. Thus he gives to his children ? and to all of us ? a remarkable record of a native lifestyle, intimately known and nostalgically recalled.? (Taos Talking Pictures Official Program 1995)
