Bøker av Joseph Dandurand

"Written and illustrated in the tradition of the Kwantlen people, Joseph Dandurand's second book is an endearing tale of two sisters and their connection with nature. In the water sat a sturgeon, born there, so they say, thousands of years ago, though the sturgeon themselves have been here for two hundred million years. It was at first a little egg, a big egg, born into the river. Now the sturgeon is back but how did it get here? How did the first sturgeon come to be? Earth and the river, moons and suns and clouds. Time, thousands of years and the Sków: wech has seen it all. But what gift does the sturgeon have for us? The sturgeon, spirit of the great river, eludes human fishers until two young sisters neglect to follow their mother's instructions. What follows provides a moving exploration of the importance of sharing and kinship with all other living things.--

The Sasquatch, spirit of the great cedar forest, eludes human hunters, falls in love, fathers a lovely daughter and saves his little family from a forest fire by dousing the flames with water stored in baskets carefully woven by his mate.
