My father cuts In this beautifully written story by acclaimed author Eve Bunting, a young boy comes of age under the thirteen moons of the Sioux year. With each notch in his father's moon-counting stick, the boy marvels at the world around him, observing...
a moon-counting stick
that he keeps in our tipi.
At the rising of the first moon
he makes a notch in it.
A new beginning
for the young buffalo,
he says.
And for us.
