| Summary | Annotation Mary Manygoats is a Navajo girl orphaned by a tragedy. When she comes to live with her Aunt Betsy in Houston, she faces the daunting prospect of going to a strange school where she is different from everyone else. But as Mary meets her new classmates, she quickly learns how many distinct cultures can mingle & to be proud of her own heritage. THE COURAGE SEED was inspired by the author's experiences teaching on a Navajo reservation in New Mexico & the ethnic diversity of her Houston classes. Richardson weaves traditional Navajo myths into Mary's story: the title comes from a Navajo belief that brave deeds nurture the seeds of courage planted in everyone's mind. The book includes a glossary of Navajo terms, several one-page essays on Navajo culture, & a list of books recommended for further reading. The story is illustrated by Pat Finney, a Houston artist & teacher. A good introduction to Native American culture for young readers. Ages 8-12. Order from: Eakin Press/Sunbelt Media, P.O.
