Jingle Dancer Hardcover - 2000
by Cynthia L. Smith; Cornelius Van Wright (Illustrator); Ying-Hwa Hu (Illustrator)
Jenna, a member of the Muscogee Nation, borrows jingles from the dresses of several friends and relatives so she can perform the jingle dance at the powwow. Includes a note about the jingle dance tradition and its regalia. Color illustrations.
From the rear cover
Tink, tink, tink, tink, sang cone-shaped jingles sewn to Grandma Wolfe's dress.
Jenna's heart beats to the brum, brum, brum, brum of the powwow drum as she daydreams about the clinking song of her grandma's jingle dancing.
Jenna loves the tradition of jingle dancing that has been shared by generations of women in her family, and she hopes to dance at the next powwow. But she has a problem--how will her dress sing if it has no jingles?
The warm, evocative watercolors of Cornelius Van Wright and Ying-Hwa Hu complement author Cynthia Leitich Smith's lyrical text as she tells the affirming story of how a contemporary Native American girl turns to her family and community to help her dance find a voice.
