Fifteen thousand years before Europeans stepped foot in the Americas, people had already spread from tip to tip and coast to coast. Like all humans, these Native Americans sought to understand their place in the universe, the nature of their relationship with the divine, and the origin of the world into which their ancestors had emerged. The answers lay in their sacred stories. \nBatchelder Award Honor Book \nSchool Library Journal Best of the Year \nKirkus Best of the Year \nBooklist Editors' Choice \nEvanston Public Library's 101 Great Books for Kids \nChicago Public Library's Best of the Best \nABC Group Best Books for Young Readers Hypnotizing...Provocative...Disarming--The New York Times Evocative and stirring...mesmerizing to read aloud.--The Wall Street Journal ★ Visually striking...full of vivid language.--Publishers Weekly (starred) ★ A rich anthology to understand and delight in Native traditions.--Booklist (starred) ★ Begs to be read aloud.--Kirkus (starred) ★ Impressiv \nBatchelder Award Honor Book \nSchool Library Journal Best of the Year \nKirkus Best of the Year \nBooklist Editors' Choice \nEvanston Public Library'
