Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

"How can you buy the sky? How can you own the rain and the wind?"

So begin the moving words attributed to a great American Indian chief--Chief Seattle--over 100 years ago. They are words that eloquently capture the central belief of Native Americans: that this earth and every creature on it is sacred. It is this belief that inspired Susan Jeffers' extraordinary full-color paintings.

This book took my breath away. Jeffers beautiful illustrations paired with the profound words of Chief Seattle create one of the most beautiful and thought provoking books I've ever experienced. Although created with children in mind, this book can stir readers of any age.
