Girl warrior : on coming of age / Joy Harjo.
"Informed by her own experiences and those of her ancestors, Harjo offers inspiration and insight for navigating the many challenges of maturation. She grapples with parents, friendships, love, and loss. She guides young readers toward painting, poetry, and music as powerful tools for developing their own ethical sensibility. As Harjo demonstrates, the act of making is an essential part of who we are,a means of inviting the past into the present and a critical tool young women can use to shape a more just future. Lyrical and compassionate, Harjo's call for creativity and empathy is an urgent and necessary work."-- Provided by publisher.

âTo know ourselves is the most profound and difficult endeavor. Though we are all made of the same questions, we have individual routes to the answers, or to reframing the questions. Why is there evil in the world? Why do people suffer, and some more than others? Why are we here? What are we doing here? What happens after death? Does anything mean anything at all? Who am I and what does it matter?â writes Joy Harjo, renowned poet and activist, in this profound work about the struggles, challenges, and joys of coming of age.Poet WarriorGirl WarriorInformed by her own experiences and those of her ancestors, Harjo offers inspiration and insight for navigating the many challenges of maturation.
