Description
The full creation story is made up of many parts and is much longer, it also tells of how the sky, the earth, and the sea came to be.
The Lakota people are American Indians from the Great Plains. They have many important stories to tell and many of these tales are passed to future generations by the Lakota Elders to teach children about the world in which they live.
The book features text in both English and Lakota and has won such prestigious awards as the Aesop Accolade, Spur Award, and Gold Moonbeam Medal.
Donald F. Montileaux's beautiful paintings offer dramatic colors and forms to this story of beginnings.
