Work with the Elders to remember the past

CLOUDWOMAN/LA MUJER NUBE

SHE TELLS HOW SNOW BEGAN

Here is a better site, more current use of words in Spanish, I have found.

A new translation site!

Remember teachers: if you want to do free translations by using any free translation site, be aware that the translation is most likely poor Spanish.

But, the good part is, if you go to a real live translator with a pre-translated piece of paper and ask their opinion of it, most likely they will want to make corrections. 10cents a word is an acceptable price.

Here's the all-color version of JOURNEY TO JUSTICE (It costs way too much on the lulu.com site--$30--I have no control over that, I am sorry. This is a drawing on computer by a child The drawings are the same. The text is the same. Only thing that differs is that the drawings are now tinted shades of gray. This cuts the price of a book in half. THIS IS EXACTLY HOW THE BOOK WILL LOOK It will have a cover in color but all the drawings in black and white. It will only cost $10. Every Elder IS a library Every Elder has memories to share. Directly above is the WORKBOOK TO JOURNEY TO JUSTICE:MEMORIES OF THE ELDERS AMONG US. This is exactly like JOURNEY TO JUSTICE, only every page has a question to answer. '¿Donde estavas tú?' or, in English, Where were you? It is $10.   Be also aware that a print book is triple the cost of an ebook or a cd ebook.   Click on a picture for a connection to MY STOREFRONT. (Again, I apologize for the huge cost for Cesar all in color--IT WAS NOT OF MY DOING, HONEST!) However, I have a plan: New cover, same drawings, new approach, and I keep my color pictures...Heh,heh, heh... This is another all-color on all pages version-- CESAR CHAVEZ--A FARM WORKER'S JOURNEY TO JUSTICE This the title page for SARAH'S STORY GEORGIA HEDRICK'S STOREFRONT (It's on lulu.com!) Nevada's second statue in Washington, DC This how the front cover actually looks This is an illustrated children's book on Sarah Winnemucca. She is an important Piute woman of the 1800's. (Tell me another Indian woman who wrote and had her book published! Or who started the first bilingual Indian school in Lovelock, NV, or who lectured from coast to coast on the wrongs and claims of the Piutes!) Title page for Cloudwoman in Spanish Print books and ebooks gone bilingual-- English + Spanish and in color. You can find these books on lulu.com if you put my name in the search machine on lulu's site. However, doing these book all in color makes the book cost more--if I do books all in black and white, well, it is half the price. And I learned something: if I have an ISBN number for a book, then somehow the book goes international and the price doubles. That's what happened to JOURNEY TO JUSTICE. Soooooooooooooo, if you want that book for just $17.50, you have to order it from me.

These are ready, now, if you call and order. Order by emailing me or order by calling me: 775-772-6378

SARAH'S STORY~ A CHILDREN'S STORY ABOUT A REAL PIUTE INDIAN WOMAN WHO LIVED IN NEVADA. She met the invasion of the white man, with fear and curiousity, grew up to learn many of their skills and faults, and spread the message of fairness promised by this new government is to be met. She never gave up hope, until her own people gave up on her. CLOUDWOMAN~ A fantasy tale of how snow came to be. It was simply a matter of sharing the clouds with the children of the earth.

Free and fast translations!

Use the sites available online to translate, sure. But also,



consider buying a professional translation of a book!







I get my books--my very own stories that I write and illustrate--translated by a wonderful professional translator in Argentina, Marina Trnka! (Oh the joy of the reach of the internet, yes?)

STOP! I have just learned that there is Argentina Spanish and then there is Spanish-Spanish...but then even more there is Mexican Spanish. So on and so on.

Therefore now i get my work translated by a local woman who came Jalisco, Mexico, and translates into the local Spanish.



So far, CLOUDWOMAN and SARAH'S STORY have been translated and set up as ebooks. But also, they are books in print, now. So too is Journey to Justice, and Workbook for Journey to Justice.

All of these are found at GEORGIA HEDRICK'S STOREFRONT BYTES! at lulu.com




To translate it will cost me money. So, I must earn some money to make this happen.




BUY A BOOK, PLEASE! I need to pay my bills.

Here is a booklet for teachers.

Lots of ideas, and how to's, thematic layouts on Chavez!

Respect this message!

De Colores , the song for all who speak Spanish

Geometry is fun if...

you let the point dialogue with the line...

Call my cell--772--6378.

COMMERCIAL BREAK: ATTENTION ALL TEACHERS:

New thought so switch gears in your head.
We will be right back after this message:

Know your flags! translate what you wish, in various languages, shown by flag!

Prepare for the Revolution against NCLB!

BRING BACK THE JOY to teaching and learning and kids!

You must go here to see what the Education Revolution is all about. This woman really knows her stuff! Plus, she lets me draw cartoons for her page.

What about information on the NEMISIS OF EDUCATION,
known for short as NCLB--and this NEMISIS CAN LEAVE
BRUISES--forever, of the intellectual kind!







So we give you cartoons to get that idea across! (http://www.cafepress.com/bringbackthejoy)

BRING BACK THE JOY! That's the whole idea. TESTING IS NOT TEACHING! What a concept! Teachers want to be proud of being teachers not test-givers! Do so--with a shirt.

NOW, BACK TO OUR MAIN PROGRAM: BOOKS!!!!

If books are not your concern, well then, go elsewhere.
If kids reading books are not your concern, well then,
begone!

But, if you care that kids read, and parents read, and you think that writing comes first, then listen up:
it all begins, these days, with a MOUSE!!!

YEAH, I SAID THAT. A MOUSE.

GIVE YOUR LOCAL MOUSE A NAME...

IT SHALL BE HIS CLAIM TO FAME!

A Mouse for every house, whether in calendar or shirt--come visit my shop at cafepress!

A computer has programs that produce artwork, if the hand is talented enough. Click on these words and go to another site where some stamps, cards and posters are--from my 'former life' but all personally drawn,by me, for those "who know Chimesettes and Cornettes".

Grandfather and Boy fight the winds of the desert

It isn't easy.

When the winds stop, a fire can start.

Fire is near as old as Grandfather.

Sometimes, stories start because an elder has to explain some way of nature; or explain some event that occured suddenly. A story is a great way of explaining the 'why' of life. Folktales do this in a clever and colorful manner.

They push ever onward

Sand and wind do not stop them

The dragon sleeps or so the ridge of mountains

seems to be as the scaley back of a dragon as he nestles in the earth.

Stories can be told around a campfire,
or in a circle, for a sense of togetherness.
But stories can also be written, on paper,
to be kept and read later. The latest way
to tell stories is to type them on a computer,
save them, illustrate them, and burn them all
on a disk.



This way, the story is forever. However,
someone has to have a cd player--in a car
or on a computer to see or hear the story.
This is a cd_ebook.

A teacher is not worth her salt if she does not

do what she asks of her students.

Therefore, the pictures on the story

of Sarah Winnemucca belong to this

teacher of ebooking students.

The first traveler Sarah saw had a full beard...

He stared at her and she thought he was an OWL!

Once, Sarah rode 220 miles nearly nonstop...

to rescue her family trapped by the Bannocks

The Story of Sarah is a story of unbelieveable toughness, courage, bravery and of a constant fight for truth and justice. She fought for a place for her Piute people in the Justice system of this land.

What she met with were lies, labels, and broken promises. Namecalling the Native American population by the invader would not make them disappear--they were not savages or red devils. They were human beings with a culture and a way of life they had lived for thousands of years.




There is nothing great about frontiersmen and women who took away their land, and killed the basic food of the population that was there, and then, killed them. There is nothing wonderful about ignoring another culture and blaming them for everything that goes wrong.

Sarah is pensive and sad ...

It is the day her Grandfather died.

The drawing above is made with photos from the internet. Why not? That's part of being creative--using what is there, and making it your own.

Here is one where the picture has been saved and transferred to a powerpoint slide. This will be the ebook format.

Another way to show the work of Cesar E Chavez !

Black and white pages make the book cost less.

Sometimes you can clip, copy and paste photos

Then you can overlay your title on your layout

This is a cover page for Sarah's Story

She tells the tale from how she remembers it.

Sometimes you can skate a pencil about and then...

dump in the closed areas, various colors as this child did.

A sculpture from the Native American Museum...

has a message in its silent bend. What does it say?

This the best I can do for translating into Spanish right now. Click on these underlined words. Look for the box wherein you can put some words. Make sure you have the right language to and from.

Here is some high quality drawing by another .

This artist MUST go to art school! she is good!

Here's a way to introduce your characters!

Draw them and then, name them.

We are working on having the ebook be bilingual.

This is known as: BEGGING. Hey, this ol' dumpster diver is not above BEGGING. So, should anyone wish to further the work of saving trees, and teaching others to write and draw on computer, send donations to:

I like the color and the SIZE of the people drawn!

REMEMBER: It is not easy being new! And ebooking is new, new, NEW!

Everyone is addicted to old ways. The feel of paper is addictive.

Change is the very most difficult thing in the world to endure.

RECUERDE: ¡No es el ser fácil nuevo! ¡Y el ebooking es nuevo, nuevo, NUEVO! Cada uno es adicto a las viejas maneras. La sensación del papel es adictiva. El cambio es la cosa muy más difícil del mundo a aguantar.

This is a play about accepting diversity. Potatoes have a hard time accepting the yam.

HERE IS A PICTURE BY A WELL-BYTEN CHILD...

SHE COULD REALLY HANDLE A MOUSE!

This is me (35 years ago) pensive and concerned.

Now, ah well, the hair is gray and the years are upon me.

Here is a page from my story, CLOUDWOMAN

She has just had a really great idea!

BUTTON HERE, YES, BUT ALSO A CD EBOOK TOO!

ONE LITTLE BUNNY WANTED A VERY SPECIAL JOB!

Make friends with everyone

There are ever more pictures and presentations to show.


You must know that kids are so brave, so creative, so willing


to go above and beyond the call of duty to make something new

and never before seen by others.

And, they use the mice that go with computers--mice that come in different shapes and sizes.

However, they are the same in one way: you must have the control of them
before anything good can happen.

Behold the computer mouse of the regular sort!

THESE ARE SOME REALLY AWESOME STORIES..

This e-presentation is also one of my great pieces
