Sailor Song by Nancy Jewell
This children’s picture book makes a delight-
ful ‘goodnight’ story. A mother sings to her son
while awaiting his sea-faring father’s return.
Make up your own tune as you recite the lyrics
to your children and create special memories
for years to come!

This year, the film
MPL is proud to feature two new works by Southeast Idaho artist Kiana Spillman on
our back stairs! Kiana’s Swedish heritage informed the weavings; she designed their
patterns after studying the history of Scandinavian woven pieces. Inspired by botany,
people, and the creative process, she uses both traditional and innovative fibers,
dyes, and techniques for her installations. Heritage I & Heritage II were woven with
wool on a floor jack loom. Kiana used natural dyes including turmeric, avocado pit
pigments, rose petals — and Kool-Aid! — to achieve their color.
