"I love this book. It was recommended to me by a good friend when I mentioned I was reading to an elementary school class. The combination of Jeffers' paintings and Chief Seattle's words moved me and I know they touched many of the children I shared the story with. I think everyone should spend the 15 minutes it takes to enjoy this story and then take the time to share it with a friend."
"Gorgeous illustrations, however let me refer to my class notes on this book: Problematic Areas: -At least 4 versions of Seattle's speech --He didn't speak English, so they were translations; he was angry b/c the tribe was going to have to move --The author has adapted/changed the speech
-Environmental responsibility does not appear to be the topic of these versions.
-Longstanding stereotypes are reinforced in the illustrations. --Horses appear in 8 of 16 illustrations and the Suquamish and Duwamish people were not horse people; the horses, buckskin and feathered headdress reflect the Plains Indians not the Suquamish/Duwamish people of the Pacific NW --Jeffers was speaking as a non-Native speaking for Natives"
