The Papoose

"The Papoose" by Mary Graham Bonner opens on a rainy morning when a self-conscious girl named Olive opens her door to a young Native American girl selling hand-woven baskets. Despite coming from entirely different worlds, each finds the other remarkable — and what begins as a simple sale becomes an afternoon of cocoa, bread and butter, and storytelling. The girl shares a tender tale about her brother's canoe, named not after a warrior or hero, but after the tiniest member of their family — a gesture that lingers long after the visit ends.
