Lessons from the Animal People

Fiction > For Children, Great Talkers > Storytellers, Kids > Fiction, Spirituality > Teaching Stories

Storyteller Dovie Thomason shares a collection of Native American stories "dedicated to our grandmothers, those strong women who committed themselves to preserving an identity and values for the coming generations." These grandmothers would tell animal stories that taught their grandchildren to respect themselves and Mother Earth and also served as a guide to life without punishment or embarrassing confrontation. Through the mistakes, bad choices, and often unruly antics of the "animal people", we are shown human weakness and are gently and humorously reminded to look at our own. In Lessons from the Animal People, Dovie Thomason collects her grandmother's most treasured stories, which have continued to delight children across the generations.
