Polóovi Temét :: A Good Day

“Polóovi Temét” means to have a “Good Day” in the Luiseño language. This book of haiku poetry introduces early readers to the language of the Luiseño people known as the Payómkawichum, the “People of the West.”

Illustrated by the whimsical scenes of Arthur Lin, Nichole Vasquez-Sutter narrates a good day, from early risers to bedtime snuggles, each page introduces the Luiseño names of different critters that you will find across the Payómkawichum lands of Southern California.
