Hugs, Kisses, and Wisdom

About the Book

Join Kateri and her little brother, Shawnee, as they prepare and celebrate their great-grandfather's eightieth birthday party along with Kateri's best friend, Clawdena. It is a day filled with adventure from seeing a young buffalo and great bald eagle to watching clouds, butterflies, holograms, and catching lightening bugs. See Clawdena float in a chair across the sky over a game of Eagle and have fun painting, Guinevere, Shawnee's pet horse. Kateri and Clawdena even get to meet their favorite rock group the 'Mohawk Girls'. Ending the day with spectacular fireworks. One must only remember that great-grandfather only wants the gifts of hugs, kisses, and wisdom on his special day!

Proceeds from this book go to the Tekakwitha Indian Missions, the Southwest Indian Foundation, and the St. Joseph's Indian School, a residential facility for Lakota (Sioux) children.
