Description
'A strong, distinctive tale with art to match.' --Kirkus Reviews 'A powerful retelling. . . . The text contains
the cadences and rhythms of oral language, and the illustrations, dark and vivid, use earth tones and shadows
to convey the drama of the text.' --Horn Book'A splendid read-aloud.' --School Library Journal'The drama of
the haunting illustrations--and of Martin's respectful retelling--produce and affecting work.' --Publishers
Weekly'Striking . . . This will make an impact on youngsters in folklore units, Native American studies, and
story hour sessions.' --The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books Read more Rafe Martin is an
internationally known, award-winning author and storyteller. His books and tapes have received national and
regional acclaim, including: ALA Notable Children's Book distinction, Parent's Choice Gold Awards, the
Anne Izard Storytellers Choice Award, and Honor Book for the 1994 Texas Bluebonnet Award. His work as
a storyteller has been cited by the Women's National Book Association, which presented him with the
Lucille Micheels Pannell Award for his 'unique creativity and effectiveness in bringing children and books
together.'As a noted storyteller and speaker, Rafe Martin has been featured at many prestigious events and
institutions such as the National Storytelling Festival, the American Booksellers Association National
Convention, the American Library Association Annual Conference, the Whole Language Umbrella Annual
Conference, the National Council of Teachers of English Annual Conference, the American Museum of
Natural History, the Vassar College Summer Institute on Children's Book Publishing, to name just a few; as
well as countless schools, libraries, whole language, TESOL, and reading association events around the
United States and as far away as Japan.Rafe Martin is dedicated to creating literature that empowers
children's imaginations. Drawing on the world's tradition of tales, as well as a growing number of his
original stories, he seeks to pass on the storyteller's primary gifts: faith in the creative imagination and in the
power of wish and dream; awareness of the interrelation of all living things; respect for the vision of the
earth's many cultures; and delight in the mysteries of language--mere sounds on the air, or squiggles on
paper--which allow us to use our own minds to see. Language and stories, he feels, are not only our oldest
technologies but our most precious resources. How can T.V. begin to compare!Rafe Martin has a Masters
Degree in English Literature from the University of Toronto, where he studied with such noted figures as
Northrop Frye and Marshall McLuhan. He and his wife, Rose, used to own and manage the Ox Cart Book
Shop in Rochester, New York. It was here that Rafe Martin first began to explore his talent and skills in
storytelling to which he now devotes his time. The Martins live in Rochester, New York, with their Siberian
Husky, and two cats. They also have two grown children. When not working, Rafe often goes to his cabin in
the Adirondacks. Situated on a river, it allows him to practice his favorite sport--kayaking.copyright ©
