Yáadilá!: Good Grief!
In this heartwarming and quintessentially Native Navajo story, Dezba and Bahe are helping their grandmother move out of her sheep camp home, which she is already missing—but what is Bahe doing with all that yarn and the dollhouse figurines?
Bahe and Dezba are helping their grandmother, Nali, move from her sheep camp home to their house. The family is packing up, carrying heavy boxes, and settling into a new life together, which isn’t always easy. At every frustration, they throw up their hands and exclaim, “Yáadilá!” Good grief!
Bahe sees that this big change is hardest for Nali. But he has a secret plan. Whatever can he be doing with a bucket of water, all that yarn, and Dezba’s dollhouse?
In this heartwarming and quintessentially Diné (Navajo) story, author Laurel Goodluck (Mandan, Hidatsa, and Tsimshian) and illustrator Jonathan Nelson (Diné) show a big change for an Elder made easier with a creative gesture of love and care.
