Kaya and the River Girl — Janet Beeler Shaw

In Kaya and the River Girl, Kaya meets Spotted Owl, whose people live along the Big River. When Spotted Owl strikes up a friendship with Kaya's sister Speaking Rain, Kaya feels hurt and left out. But in a moment of danger, Kaya and Spotted Owl must work together as partners. Can they be friends, too?

After you read Kaya's story, make a petroglyph, or rock carving, like Kaya might have seen along the Big River.
