"Healer of the Water Monster" by Brian Young follows the journey of a young Navajo boy named Eli who is sent to stay with his grandmother during the summer. While exploring, Eli encounters a water monster who is injured and needs healing. This leads him into a world of Navajo mythology, where he learns about his culture, the importance of nature, and the significance of healing both the physical and spiritual realms. Eli's journey reflects themes of identity, family, and reconnecting with one’s heritage, ultimately teaching him the value of understanding and compassion in the face of adversity.
