Description
Grandmother Moon is lonely in the night sky. When she stops in her journey to hear Brother Mountain's stories, she also stops the sun from rising, the animals from sleeping, and more! This causes the Creator to intervene, but how can Grandmother Moon's loneliness be solved while ensuring the sky moves from night to day?

Contributor Notes
Barbara E. Elgutaa is a member of the Oneida Nation from Wisconsin and is part of the Turtle Clan. Her maternal grandmother spoke Oneida language fluently as her first language. Her maternal grandfather's parents and siblings spoke Menominee. Her father, paternal grandfather and grandmother were all members of the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohicans and worked passionately to revitalize their culture. As a small child, she heard Oneida and Menominee languages growing up. In addition to language, her mother, grandmother, and aunties taught culture, stories and traditional ways. One of these teachings was how education can change society. Barbara earned a bachelor's degree in psychology and a master's degree in counselor education from the University of Wisconsin and worked as an education counselor for 30 years, including as a certified Multicultural Counselor and Psychological & Emotional Trauma counselor. Barbara currently lives in Tucson, Arizona.
