mudder17's review against another edition
4.0
I first bought this in 2014, when an artsy student of mine showed me artwork by the artist who illustrated the book. But by the time I got it, I was so busy I put it on a shelf and forgot about it. Recently, I was looking for an illustrated book, as well as one I haven't read yet, and I came across this one and decided to give it a go. It took me awhile to get used to the cadence of the story and to form a connection with the characters, but the illustrations were beautiful and kept me going. And then something shifted when Grandfather Boulder was introduced and suddenly I couldn't put it down. I can just picture and hear a Seneca grandfather telling this story. It really is quite a beautiful story that reminds me of what should be important in life and how we should respect and care for Mother Earth. It reminds us of the power of stories and how they can change the world. I'm sorry it took me so long to read this, but I'm glad I did!
