What is When Clay Sings about?

<p>Pieces of broken pots are scattered over the desert hillsides of the Southwest. The Indians there treat them with respect — "Every piece of clay is a piece of someone's life," they say. And the children try to imagine those lives that took place in the desert they think of as their own.</p> <p>Clay has its own small voice, and sings. Its song has lasted for thousands of years. And Byrd Baylor's prose-poem as simple and powerful as the clay pots, sings too.</p> <p>The daily life and customs of prehistoric southwest Indian tribes are retraced from the designs on the remains of their pottery. </p>
