| Summary |
"Little Man's family = Diné yázhí ba'áłchíní : pre-primer" by J. B. Enochs is a bilingual educational publication written during the mid-20th century. This book serves as a pre-primer aimed at helping young Navajo children learn basic English vocabulary and sentence structure while simultaneously supporting the use of their native language, Navajo. It focuses on everyday life experiences among the Navajo community, reflecting their culture and identity. The book introduces readers to the family structure of a Navajo boy, describing various family members and their roles, such as the mother, father, and siblings, alongside cultural elements like their hogan (traditional dwelling) and daily activities, including weaving and taking care of livestock. Through simple and direct illustrations paired with both English and Navajo text, it facilitates language learning for children, providing clear examples of phrases and contextual vocabulary. The format aims to foster familiarity with the Navajo language while helping children acquire English skills, ultimately promoting a better understanding of modern life.
