At her death, an elderly Plains Indian woman experiences the afterlife believed in by her people, while the surviving family members prepare her body according to their custom.
The concept of the long climb of someone who is dying is one which we can understand. You walk gradually, and seemingly endlessly, upwards to a distant ridge. This is a vision of that other land Beyond the Ridge.
"Once again Goble has created a stunning picture book interpretation of an aspect of Plains Indian tradition. The story at the heart of this book is the death of an old woman and her subsequent spirit journey... The artwork is Goble at his best". -- School Library Journal
Profusely illustrated in full color in Paul Goble's signature style.
