Wonderful message
11 May 2008
Format:Paperback
This is a book that everyone should read with a message to which everyone should pay close attention. Chief Seattle's speech, whether facto or fiction, is famous as it sought to remind us of our place on this planet and our obligation to the natural world around us. This book tells us that we are far from being the dominant species we think we are and that even in our most powerful state we must serve the earth. The illustrations are incredible, too, and evoke beautiful ideas of connection between people and the earth.

Children need to know
30 April 2005
Format:Paperback
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.

A Beautiful Book - a review of "Brother Eagle, Sister Sky"
1 Mar 2006
Format:Paperback
What do you teach your children?
There's a bit of an argument that has taken place concerning whether Chief Seattle in fact said something like or unlike the lovely verse in this book. I'd just like to remind people that this book is for young children and not historians.
And I, for one, have read this book to my children just as I have read them the 'legends' or 'debatable facts' about George Washington and Benjamin Franklin.
So, if you are interested in presenting profound and beautiful words to your kids along with interesting pictures, both of which might very well incite conversation BUY THIS BOOK.
If you want guaranteed facts, read them the newspaper. (Well, okay... that's no guarantee either.)
Five Stars.
