Book excerpt: The beloved traditional English Christmas carol, “The Twelve Days of Christmas,” has been delightfully adapted to reflect aspects of the richly varied cultures and traditions of Native American tribes from different parts of the US. Author Gary Robinson presents a cultural background for each day’s gift in an easy-to-understand manner, placing the adapted song lyrics in the context of these tribal cultures. Jesse Hummingbird’s vibrant illustrations capture the imagination. As a companion to the popular book Native American Night Before Christmas by the same author and illustrator, these editions are wonderful additions to holiday books for children.
