Navajo Young Adult Author Visits Moencopi Day School

March 9, 2026 We had the incredible honor of welcoming Navajo author Brian Young to MDS, and let me tell you—the energy was electric! Mr. Young shared his inspiring story and read aloud to our students and staff, bringing his words to life in the most captivating way. Plus, our 2nd-6th graders each got to take home a copy of *Legendary Frybread Drive-In*. You can also check out his other published novel, *Healer of the Water Monster* Talk about a day to remember! Thank you to Clifford Kaye of the Hopi Leadership Program for bringing Brian Young to Moenkopi.
