D ancing Rainbows is the story of a Native American grandfather who teaches his grandson Pueblo Indian dances. Evelyn first became interested in Native American dance when she saw the Thunderbird Dancers at the New Jersey State Museum in Trenton. The oversized Dancing Rainbows is spectacular with colorful, vibrant photos that focus on the importance of dance to the Native American. H ot Dog and Cool Cat are Evelyn's funniest books. She advertised in the newspaper for models for both books and was overwhelmed by the response.
People really love their pets.
Besides writing, photography, graduate school, her family, and dozens of other commitments, Evelyn finds the time to visit schools and talk to children about writing and illustrating. I love spending time in the schools. The kids treat me like a Hollywood celebrity. I t is obvious after speaking with Evelyn Mott that she loves what she does for a living. I also get the very distinct impression that she cares a great deal about children and genuinely wants to be a positive influence in their lives.
