Picture
A traditional Native American creation story stemming from the Creek Indians in Florida.

The Listener, Otter and Honors the Buffalo Chief inhabit the world long ago. A spotted frog gives them a warning about a Great Flood.  The Listener heeds the spotted frogs warning of the Great Flood while none of the other animals do.  

A story of morals and above all, listening to and respecting nature with familiar elements from other cultures creation stories.  I enjoyed the illustrations and the simplicity of the story for children while still creating a clear message. The simplicity allows the story to be told in a variety of mediums, it could easily be translated into a play, puppet show or told by a storyteller.

This book was received for free from Goodreads First-Reads program in exchange for an honest review.
