When the Creek Began to Rise — Kevin Robinson

When the Creek Began to Rise, book three in The Grandfather and Grandmother Bear Stories collection, features Beaver son and his younger sister, Beaver daughter, and a game they invent down at the stream which runs by the animal village. Thanks to the wisdom and insight of Grandfather and Grandmother Bear, the children's invention just might save the whole community, and everyone learns important lessons about cooperation and working together. This collection of children's tales is Kevin Robinson's attempt to honor and emulate some of the best stories ever told in America: the Native American "animal stories" and "lodge fire stories," and they are at their best when read aloud by an adult.
