The Earth does not belong to us. We belong to the Earth. The great
American Indian Chief Seattle spoke these words over a hundred years
ago. His remarkably relevant message of respect for the Earth and every
creature on it has endured the test of time and is imbued with passion
born of love of the land and the environment. Illustrated by
award-winning artist Susan Jeffers, the stirring pen-and-color drawings
bring a wide array of Native Americans to life while capturing the
splendor of nature and the land. Children and parents alike will enjoy
the timeless, poignant message presented in this beautifully illustrated
picture book.
Together, Seattle's words and Jeffers's images create a powerful
message; this thoughtful book deserves to be pondered and cherished by
all. (Publishers Weekly )
