James BlueWolf and Carolyn Wing Greenlee recently did a series of video conferences relating to writing and art for both Native and non-Native students. They discussed the creative process and answered questions from students at six Lake County California schools. Their book Speaking for Fire (Earthen Vessel Productions, 2007), written by BlueWolf in a traditional storytelling style to present examples of virtue and values important to his family, is being used in at least fifteen classrooms in a number of Northern California counties, and the list is spreading. The illustrations for Speaking for Fire done by Greenlee are receiving very high acclaim from both the publishing and art communities. Speaking for Fire received the 2007 Best Children's Book award from the Wordcraft Circle of Native Writers and Storytellers. | ||||||

Things were vastly different in 1951 when Tom and Kay Wing moved their family to Claremont, California. At age 4, their daughter Carolyn was about to spend the next 13 years experiencing life from the inside of their custom house, being reared in the combination of old Chinese and new American ideas that her parents chose from navigating their own difficult pasts. With brilliant, dynamic, powerful parents, and an older sister who excelled at everything; through the rigors of childhood, the brutality of junior high and the awkwardness of high school, Carolyn must fight for a place of her own. With great insight and humor, Carolyn Wing Greenlee tells of these years in a way that is poignant, captivating and deeply touching. | ||||||
