Awards
Southwest Books of the Year 2003 (Tucson- Pima County Library); Finalist for Nautilus Book Award 2004

A young boy who is made fun of by a classmate is unsure how to deal with his feelings. Each of his family members offers different advice about how to protect himself. After walking in the desert with his grandmother and listening to her parables, he learns how to keep his heart open and not be afraid of his feelings. This beautifully illustrated story brings a fresh perspective to a common dilemma by pointing out the value of learning from nature and the wisdom of elders.

REVIEWS
Amadito and Spider Woman has a wonderful way of helping youngsters deal with the hurt feelings caused by bullying. Illustrated by the dramatic images of artist Amado Pena, Jr., this narrative depicts the rich family life of a young American Indian boy, Amadito, and his home in the Sonoran desert. When he comes home from school, upset because of being ridiculed by a classmate in front of the class, Amadito is comforted by his mother. Later his older brother and his father give him advice about showing strength and standing tall, but it is the simple lessons from his grandmother, Nana, that seem to help him the most. Healing wisdom and quiet appreciation of the natural world are the hallmarks of this fine book written by Lisa Bear Goldman – The New Mexican

Known for his images of Southwest Indians and landscapes, Pena adds his signature style to this story of a young boy who seeks advice from family members when hurt by other school children's taunts. In a Sonoran desert setting, both nature and his elders provide insights in a thoughtful tale by Goldman, who has worked as a counselor. -- Tucson-Pima County Library

Using the all too common childhood occurrence of being teased, this story by Lisa Bear Goldman follows a young boy's reactions to this situation and explores the different ways of dealing with it through the advice of his family. One day, Amadito comes home from school upset because of the way the other kids at school have been treating him. First, his mother gives him comfort and then her advice. Then his older brother chimes in with his ideas for handling the problem. Next, he tells his father what happened and of course, the father has his own wisdom. None of their well-meaning advice offers any degree of comfort to Amadito. Finally, Nana, his grandmother, takes him out into the desert. Ultimately, her kind words gathered from a lifetime of interacting with people and nature are the very words our young Amadito needs to hear. In order to heal, we must first feel our pain, and then release it. -- Southwest Children's Literature Website

AMERIKA? AMERICA! From Immigration to Espionage
Eva and Manfred Krutein
$14.00
ISBN 0-938513-23-0
Amador Publishers, 1997 memoir, 270 pp

This is Volume Three of the remarkable autobiographical memoirs of Eva Krutein. Refugee, wife, mother, musician, community leader, writer-she confronts every crisis in life with courage, honesty and good humor.

A wonderful story! A page-turning memoir which adds a necessary dimension to the immigrant picture, one that we rugged individualists of America need to take a good look at. An educated, sophisticated family deals with an unfamiliar and often hostile culture, meets the challenges, copes with the complications. They become valued, trusted citizens of a nation that is not grateful enough.-- Florence Cohn, book reviewer National Council of Jewish Women

If all human beings were endowed with a writer's talent, the world would be filled with an incalculable number of profoundly fascinating autobiographies. Realistically, this will never come to pass. However, Manfred, a scientist, and Eva, a musician, prove themselves to be exceptions. In their collaborative autobiography, AMERIKA? AMERICA! they tell their life story with disarming openness, rich detail and passion, always connecting their personal narrative to the events unfolding around them: VietNam, the Kennedy assasinations, feminism, U.S./Soviet relations, the emergence of Buddhism in the U.S., the rise of the youth culture, etc. Their work is highly recommended. I read through the entire text in one sitting.-- Rev. Tetsuo Unno, adjunct professor

Ancestral Notes: A Family Dream Journal
Zelda Leah Gatuskin
Reg. price $12.00
Amador Publishers, 1994. 176 pages, 9 illustrations

A collection of dream journal entries, poems, essays, short stories, and a drama z based on the author's investigations into, and her feelings about her family history and cultural identity. She explores the themes of Jewish spirituality, shtetl life in Europe, immigration to the USA, men's and women's traditional roles. Repeated references to spirits convey the sense that this inquiry is not only guided but demanded by ancestral souls. The book is illustrated with nine original collages by the author.

REVIEWS
With a deceptively simple yet strong voice, Gatuskin explores and celebrates what it means to be a Jew, to be a woman, and to be a member of the human race. — Anne Barney, author

"This work is a collection of intensely personal stories, dreams, memories, histories, and collages by the author. They come at times perilously close to the world of psychosis, which always tells the truth about a secret. Such secrets are revealed only to a mind resonating with love for the sufferer. In the present instance firm sanity prevails throughout the revelations. As I began to read this work the shade of Franz Kafka fell across my shoulder, soon to be merged with the shades of Dostoyevsky, of Sholem Aleichem, and a myriad of my own memories dancing and grieving with those of the author. And that is strange, you see, for she and I are of different lineage, joined only in the mind by a common humanity. As I read on I wanted to bow before the author and kiss her feet. I wanted to weep with her and her ancestors. In the next moment I wanted to laugh with her in a triumph of the spirit over grief and pain. I put on her sister's clothes, but the door to the crematorium was shut to me, for I am not worthy. No other work I have ever read has had such an effect on me." — William J. Turner, M.D., Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry, State University of New York, Stony Brook, NY

"A chronicle of personal awakening...Here is a joyful, insightful, poignant, tough-minded celebration of the individual self as a swirling complexity of genetics, random chance and divine and earth-bound humor." — The Jewish Voice, Wilmington
