This collection of west-coast fables combines the approach of Aesop with the oral tradition of First Nations storytellers. Woodpecker shows how to be a true friend. Beaver demonstrates how to achieve dreams through hard work. Rainbow Trout finds that all things in nature have a purpose. Parents, grandparents, and teachers will embrace Robert James Challenger's stories, which, like all fables, promote cultural values and respect among generations. - Orca Book Publishers
