The Tales of Tuffy

This book includes five stories written especially with children in mind, although, I hope The "Tales of Tuffy" stories will be enjoyed by readers af all ages. These stories introduce us to a Lakota Indian tribe, happy, healthy and prosperous. The star of these stories is Thunder Rider, a five-year-old boy, who was nicknamed Tuffy by his grandfather. In these stories, I wanted to show Tuffy as a typical little boy who liked to learn and explore everything. Sometimes his adventures landed him in trouble with his parents. From the moment I conceived the idea of writing these stories, I wanted the main character to learn many lessons resulting from the choices he makes and the actions he takes. These tales reflect fictitious adventures that a Native American child may have experienced a very long time ago. The lessons learned still ring true today within all ethnic groups, and perhaps for all time. Reading level is for children seven and over. Parents will also enjoy reading these stories to their children that can not yet read.
