Boy Who Lived With Bears and Other Iroquois Stories by Joseph Bruchac

I enjoyed reading this collection of 6 tales as much as my daughter enjoyed hearing them. Each story is accompanied by a beautiful illustration by Murv Jacob. The stories sparked some good discussion about kindness, tricking others, the meaning of myths, family, and seasons and weather cycles.
