Backwardia and the Po Ho No of Yosemite

The story

Backwardia does everything backwards, from wearing her clothes inside out to saying "olleh" for hello. After building an igloo with Wasntme on a snowy day, she crawls in backwards and is pulled away.

She lands on the highest peak in Yosemite, where a bighorn sheep gives her a moonlit tour and warns her about a haunting siren song that lures visitors toward a waterfall.

The real place: Yosemite

Three things to tell your kid after the story.

1. 1Bridalveil Fall in Yosemite was called Pohono by the Ahwahneechee people, which is often translated as "spirit of the puffing wind."
2. 2Mount Lyell is the highest mountain in Yosemite National Park, and bighorn sheep live in its high country.
3. 3Yosemite has groves of giant sequoias, some of the biggest trees on Earth, and some are thousands of years old.
