When it was first released in 1982, When It Rains was one of the earliest published literary works in the O'odham language. Speakers from across generations shared poems that showcased the aesthetic of the written word and aimed to spread interest in reading and writing in O'odham.

The poems capture brief moments of beauty, the loving bond between family members, and a deep appreciation of Tohono O'odham culture and traditions, as well as reverent feelings about the landscape and wildlife native to the Southwest. A motif of rain and water is woven throughout the poetry in When It Rains, tying in the collection's title to the importance of this life-giving and sustaining resource to the Tohono O'odham people. With the poems in both O'odham and English, the volume serves as an important reminder of the beauty and changeability of the O'odham language.

The themes and experiences expressed by the language educators in this volume capture still-rural community life: children are still bussed for miles to school, and parents still have hours-long daily commutes to work. The Sonoran Desert also remains an important part of daily life--seasons, rain on desert plants, and sacred mountains serve as important markers.

In a new foreword to the volume, Sun Tracks editor Ofelia Zepeda reflects on how meaningful this volume was when it was first published and its continued importance. "Things have changed but many things remain the same," writes Zepeda. "The pieces in this collection will be meaningful to many still."

Comfortable Shoes Right Out of the Box
Size: 9, Color: Black
I bought these shoes for my husband. He has a very hard time finding quality, comfortable shoes. These shoes are just as comfortable as his New Balance. He uses them as a dress shoe and wears them at least once a week. There was no break in period necessary. They were comfortable right out of the box! The only thing we didn't like was the white sole color. Once I knew he was going to keep them, I used a black sharpie marker to color the soles black. Instant amazing, comfortable dress shoes. They were well worth the cost. If you or your SO needs a comfortable pair of shoes, we highly recommend them.

Decent Shoes with Misleading Description (Not Leather)
Size: 12 Wide, Color: Black, Size: 12 Wide, Color: Black
I only look for leather when I’m purchasing dress shoes. Under the description “details” on this item it lists the shoe as leather upper and inner lining. A photo shows “genuine Napa leather lining”. If you keep reading (which I have now that I’ve received the shoes) it shows “faux leather” in the small print and that is not “leather”. I run a small leather business and this irks me because it’s clearly false advertising. The details also show the product is made in Brazil but when they arrived today, the shoe tag shows “Made in China” and “Man Made upper and lower”. I don’t hate the shoes. They look nice. What I know is they won’t hold up over time like leather, which is why the description should be accurate and not misleading.

Perfect Blend of Comfort and Style
Size: 9, Color: Brown, Size: 9, Color: Brown
I recently purchased size 9 of these shoes, and they exceeded my expectations in every way! Here’s what I love about them: 1. Comfort: The moment I put them on, I noticed how soft and supportive they felt. The cushioning provides all-day comfort, making them perfect for long walks, workdays, or running errands. 2. Fit: The sizing is spot-on! I ordered my usual size, and they fit perfectly with no need to size up or down. There’s enough room for my toes to move without feeling too loose or tight. 3. Style: These shoes look even better in person. The design is sleek and versatile, making them easy to pair with both casual and semi-formal outfits. I’ve received several compliments already! 4. Durability: I put it on the day of purchase. After wearing them daily for a couple of days, they still look brand new. The stitching and material seem high-quality and built to last. 5. Value for Money: For the price, these shoes deliver exceptional value. You’re getting premium comfort and style without breaking the bank. Final Thoughts: If you’re looking for shoes that offer comfort, style, and durability, I highly recommend giving these a try. I’ll definitely be considering another pair in a different color soon! To conclude, I’m very happy for this purchase. Will definitely buy again.
