Product Description
Brother Eagle, Sister Sky Book
By Susan Jeffers
“How can you buy the sky? How can you own the rain and the wind?” . . . So begins the moving words attributed to a great American Indian Chief, Chief Seattle who lived over 100 years ago.
They are words that eloquently capture the central belief of Native Americans: that this Earth and every creature on it is sacred.
It is this belief that inspired Susan Jeffers’ extraordinary full-colour paintings.
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-colour 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
New and a crease in the cover.
