Through the alternating voices of 12-year-old Morning Girl and her younger brother Star Boy, we step into the extraordinarily rich lives of an indigenous family on a Bahamian Island in 1492, just as their paradise is about to be discovered and a new world order begins to take shape.
Beautifully painted in words by Michael Dorris, and performed with great sensitivity by sister/brother voices Eliza and Reilly Duggan, this exceptional recording will find its place in the hearts of listeners of all ages.

" Read this book with my daughter because she was getting confused with it. The chapters alternate from Morning Girls point of view, and Star Boys' point of view. An easy and fun read about a family living on an island and their traditions of naming. "
" I'm going to be honest, this was a book that I would have thought was a total snoozefest when I was a kid. However, as an adult I thought it was moving, and really well done. Good for discussion on a few different levels. "
