New York: Philomel Books, (1988) dj. Hardcover first edition - Set in Michigan many years ago, and based on a story told by her father, this is a mix of myth and realism. "Will is trying to fish, but his younger sister Mabel keeps scaring away the fish with her noisy questions. Out from the bushes comes Lillian Two Blossom, an old Indian woman who offers to take them for a boat ride to find the answers. Off they go, with Will rowing, until the boat is lifted out of the water and into the heavens, where Lillian is transformed into a young version of herself. She points out the caribou that carries the sun across the sky from east to west, the wolves whose howls make the voice of the wind and the fish whose thrashing in the heavens make the rain." (Publishers Weekly) Illustrated with watercolors by the author. Large format, unpaginated. ISBN: 0-399214704.
