Product Description
“Exquisite, detailed illustrations grace this picture book which presents the part of Longfellow’s stirring poem dealing with Hiawatha’s boyhood and his relationship to his grandmother, who teaches him about the ways of animals and the forces of nature.
The illustrator’s careful research on flora and fauna and woodland Indian culture is evident. Some of the poem’s background is explained in a note at the beginning. This is truly a picture book for all ages.”—Children’s Literature
