Verna Clinton-Author & Illustrator

      Verna Clinton is from Testo, Arizona. She is a Navajo born for Ma'ii Deeshgiizhnii and Naakaii Dine'e. She is a sixth grade teacher at Chinle Elementary School in Arizona on the Navajo Nation.
      She illustrated Dine Bizaad Bohoo'aah and K'e Bina Niltin. She also illustrated Turkey and Giant and Night and Day both which are a part of my booklist. Clinton usually collaborates with Nedra Emery who is the author of some of the books she illustrates.
     Clinton is the author and illustrator of Ashkiis Journey. A story of a young mans journey into manhood. She describes it as a historical fiction from informatino she gathered through her father. She hopes that her book will help guide young men of today into manhood.
 
 
"Wherever you go along the way, there will be hard times, but there will always be double rainbows too." - Verna Clinton
