Tipi by Paul Goble

Tipi by Paul Goble

Award-winning author Paul Goble examines the construction, art, and significance of the tipi to the Plains Indians in his newest book, entitled Tipi: Home of the Nomadic Buffalo Hunters. Through a re-telling of the old-timer's stories, Goble shows how the tipi was more than just a home, but an expression of spiritual beliefs.

Blends traditional insights into tipi construction and development with a retelling of old-timers stories and a blending in of art to make for a fine survey of construction techniques, decorations, cultural meaning, and moreTipi includes over a hundred color illustrations and drawings and makes for a vivid, outstanding survey of the spiritual and culture meaning of the Native American structure. -- Midwest Book Review, June 2007

Paul Goble's wonderful books have gained widespread recognition, including Buffalo Woman, Dream Wolf, Her Seven Brothers, and The Girl Who Loved Wild Horses, which won the 1979 Caldecott Medal. Horn Book Magazine remarked of his work in Beyond the Ridge, Standout parts integrate the images with the narrative and spiritual aspects of the text. His method, according to the New York Times Book Review, is a magnificent blend of authentic design and contemporary artistry. I Sing for the Animals, Paul Goble's most recent book for Bradbury Press, was described by Kirkus Reviews as a wonderful, tiny book that movingly conveys genuine belief in the goodness of creation, and School Library Journal stated it fits as effortlessly in the hand as Goble's thoughts on the natural world do in the heart.
