The Girl Who Helped Thunder and Other Native American Folktales

Description

What a rich addition to any study of American history or native people. Represented are stories from the Seneca, Lenape, Wampanog, Cherokee, Seminole, and Creek tribes and many more. Most tales are just a few pages, and the folk-art illustrations look as if painted on bark add to the mood. A brief intro to each story gives the reader some context before diving in. It would be interesting in a co-op or group setting to have students present a story from the book! Perhaps even come up with an original folk tale.

Publisher's Description of The Girl Who Helped Thunder and Other Native American Folktales

Welcome the second book in the Folktales of the World series! Engaging, inspirational, and above all entertaining, these legends come from Native American peoples across the U.S. 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 to animal fables to stirring accounts of bravery and sacrifice. Find out how stories first came to be, and how the People came to the upper world. Meet Rabbit, the clever and irresistible Creek trickster. See how the buffalo saved the Lakota people, and why the Pawnee continue to do the Bear Dance to this very day.
