Black Sheep, White Crow and Other Windmill Tales

Stories from Navajo Country

By: Jim Kristofic

Narrated by: Jim Kristofic

When Kameron moves to his grandma’s sheep camp on the Navajo Reservation, he leaves behind his cell phone reception and his friends. The young boy’s world becomes even stranger when Kameron takes the sheep out to the local windmill and meets an old storyteller. As the seasons turn, the old man weaves eight tales that teach the deeper story of the Diné country and the Diné people.

Wonderful stories and masterful storytelling

...and the author's audible narration is outstanding and makes these rez tales really come to life in a way that makes you want to hear them many times. Great stories and lessons for children and adults.

Family Road Trip

We listened to this on our way to Monument Valley. It was perfect for learning Navajo culture and was relatable to all ages in the car. A great book!!

Great stories within the story!

This is a great book for young people and anyone. The tales told by the elder man had good morals to teach in an interesting way.

Great author and narrator!

Jim Kristofic’s prose draws you into the place and time he describes. It’s easy to forget the outside world for a while yet when you push pause you somehow feel more engage with the people, places, animals and fauna about you.
Aaaaand he may be even a better narrator.
So glad I’ve discovered his work.

I love it

very entertaining and I like the Navajo teaching it came with it. thank you.
