First edition of The Earth is My Mother by Bev Doolittle and Elise Maclay. A girl fights to save Magic Canyon from development.
Written by Elise Maclay. Illustrated by Bev Doolittle. 2000, first edition, first printing. The Greenwich Workshop Press.
Elise Maclay and Bev Doolittle collaborated on several books, and their work for The Earth is My Mother is celebrated for the story of a young girl who makes a difference and the beautiful drawings and paintings of the places in the story.
From the front flap:
"Sarah Stewart loves Magic Canyon, which is rich with Native American legacy, and many precious memories for Sarah, whose mother has recently died. When the canyon is threatened by developers, Sarah goes into action. Armed with her mother's camera, a "guardian spirit", and a handful of clues revealed to her in a dream, Sarah sets off on an adventure that she is sure can save the canyon."
And she succeeds.
Bev Doolittle is a well-known Western artist known for the "camouflage" technique on display in the cover art for The Earth Is My Mother.
