From celebrated Native American author and storyteller Joseph Bruchac comes a vibrant collection of seven short plays for children, each inspired by a traditional Native tale. Bursting with heroes, tricksters, humor, and drama, these engaging performances offer a lively way for young readers to experience the richness and diversity of Native cultures.
Each play features multiple roles that can be tailored to fit any group size and includes easy, hands-on ideas for props, scenery, and costumes that children can help design. With helpful introductory notes and beautifully detailed illustrations, the book deepens readers’ understanding of the seven Native nations whose stories inspired these imaginative and educational plays.
