 
A book to be cherished by children and adults alike
Taos Pueblo artist Jonathan Warm Day presents a slice of life as it used to be.
Taos Pueblo Painted Stories follows the author's people through the four seasons in story and art. Jonathan Warm Day's intricate and brilliantly colored original paintings illuminate the gentle textual passages that describe a culture with traditions, and customs that are now part of the past and of the heritage of the Natives of Taos.
Jonathan Warm Day, a native of Taos Pueblo, began wood carving as a child and eventually became interested in drawing. He learned painting from his mother, an artist herself who had been a student at the Santa Fe Indian School during its artistic renaissance. After graduating from Taos High School, Warm Day attended Diné College in Tsaile, Arizona, then studied art at the University of New Mexico. His paintings are included in several important collections and have been exhibited in various galleries. Warm Day lives in Taos, New Mexico.
The stories in the book are drawn from both Warm Day’s personal experiences and his family’s oral traditions. He says about this book, "Already some of these traditions are no longer being practiced, so I created this work to help keep them alive for future generations. I also hope that knowledge of this way of living in harmony with one another, nature and the seasons of life can help make the world outside of Taos Pueblo a better place."
