Listen "Weshoyot Alvitre"
Episode Synopsis
Weshoyot Alvitre (@weshoyot) shares AT THE MOUNTAIN'S BASE, a poetic story written by Traci Sorell and illustrated by Weshoyot about a family nervously awaiting the return of a family member serving in WWII. This is a story where you notice the silence. The large illustrations and colorful thread framing and connecting the art draw eyes to the hands and faces we meet in a cabin at the base of a mountain, but the waiting and the working in silence builds such terrific tension that I personally found myself at a loss of breath by the story's end.
