From the publisher of Bev Doolittle, Scott Gustafson and James C. Christensen, comes this lovely book inspired by Judy Larson's paintings. Author Kathleen Kudlinski weaves biology, ecology and Native American legend and history into an inspired treatise for young people. Two themes converge in this book: the precarious plight of endangered wildlife and the fate of Native Americans whose harmony with the natural world we admire. The artist hides pictures within each painting to tell layered stories as she portrays the beauty of the wilderness and the wild animals who call it home.
Native Tribes and leaders include: Blackfeet, Nez Perce and Chief Joseph, Crow, Lakota and Chief Red Horse. Includes a "Learn More" section with links for contemporary Native American Tribes and protection of wild horses and wolves. Also includes an "About the Artwork" section describing the artist's technique of scratchboard" and suggesting ways for children to try this artform.
