The Girl Who Helped Thunder and Other Native American Folktales

Retold by James Bruchac, Retold by Joseph Bruchac, Illustrated by Stefano Vitale





| book description |

Engaging, inspirational and entertaining, this second book in this fascinating series offers legends that come from Native American peoples across America. Richly illustrated with original art, they capture a wide range of belief systems and wisdom from the Cherokee, Cheyenne, Hopi, Lenape, Maidu, Seminole, Seneca and other tribes. The beautifully retold tales, all with informative introductions, range from creation myths and animal fables to stirring accounts of bravery and sacrifice. You can find out how stories first came to be and how the People came to the upper world. You can meet Rabbit, the clever and irresistible Creek trickster and see why the Pawnee continue to do the Bear Dance to this day. Stefano Vitale's art showcases a stunning array of animal figures, masks, totems and Navajo-style patterns, in nature's palette of brilliant turquoises, earth browns, shimmering sun-yellow and fire-orange and deep blues of a dark night.
