Tumbleweeds: A Moving Story
This family history workbook has a history. Its ancestor, Making Connections, was produced for "Sonoran Heritage," a Learning Library Program funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) at the Tucson Public Library (1979-81). The copies disappeared quickly, and some were used in classrooms.

The three major questions "Sonoran Heritage" was meant to raise are: Who are we? Where did we come from? What are we doing here? Now, more than 25 years later, there seems even more reason to reflect on our origins and the pathways that brought us to our current "home."
But to reconstruct the workbook, we need fresh voices to represent a 21st-century population.
