Brother Eagle, Sister Sky

I've used this book in my classroom and with my grandchildren. Chief Seattle makes vital suggestions about taking care of the earth. In this time of climate change this is particularly important book. It is beautifully written and illustrated.

The story is great. The art is beautiful. I also love the metal on the corners of the book.

I am a retired second grade teacher. I would read this story to my students every year, discussing how we could each help and give respect to our environment. I bought this book for my brand new grandson so that he too will respect and appreciate our Mother Earth.

Should be in all school libraries. I have given this to adults and children. Appreciated by all.

Wonderful paintings and matching text for the young history student. Places Native American wisdom in its proper context.

This book can make you cry. As Chief Seattle was about to sign over the land of his people to the Americans that more or less demanded it, he made the most beautiful and touching speech about the sanctity of the land. Susan Jeffers is an outstanding illustrator. Every page contains her art work and overlayed is the text of the speech. There is a two piece spread where you can find symbols hidden in the artwork. The children really loved these pages. But all of them are outstanding and show the greatest respect for the Native Americans and their love of the earth. This book will bring a tear to the eye of many readers, mine included.

This is a wonderful book that I have used in my classroom for years for ALL ages. It has a powerful message all of us need to hear. The pictures are OUTSTANDING!!! I bought 2 copies from Amazon to give as gifts to 2 children who now are old enough to appreciate it.

I feel that this book tells children about Indian heritage and the fact that white men don't respect land and nature the way Cheif Seatttle and his tribe did. The pictures in the book are wonderful and realistic.
