Description

Have you ever wondered why Rabbit has such long ears? Or why Raccoon is wearing a mask?

Through her natural gift of storytelling, Skye encourages other children to embrace the art and become storytellers, too!

Editorial Reviews

"...sure to be a favorite for classroom read-alouds and is an excellent addition to classroom libraries hoping to amplify Indigenous voices... Frank's colorful watercolor illustrations featuring emotive animals and human characters are the perfect match for King's text, which moves deftly from one brief story to the next without any loss of coherence." -- Children's Literature, A CLCD Company
