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.

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.
