In this book, first published in 1972, he recounts a Zuni myth first recorded a century ago by the anthropologist Frank Hamilton Cushing. Hillerman's version of the story, written to be read by children ten years old and up, will have equal appeal for adults with an interest in Native American culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"In our society,\" Hillerman explains, \"this would be called a 'Bible story.' Like stories based on the Old Testament, this narrative is intended to teach both the history and morality of a people.\" It tells the consequences of a drought in which Zuni crops were ruined and the tribe was forced to accept charity from neighboring Hopis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Unm Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826309105\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 81\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.44w x 0.26d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e121087 \/ Boy Who Made Dragonfly: A Zuni Myth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 6 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 3\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Tony Hillerman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51581063954613,"sku":"9780826309105","price":11.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_12b945d4-3be8-4bca-bd97-72b71dbbb2b3.jpg?v=1755619492","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-boy-who-made-dragonfly-a-zuni-myth-9780826309105","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
