When Turtle Grew Feathers: A Tale from the Choctaw Nation (ISBN 0874837774)

A great Native American version of the Turtle and the Hare:
Basically this is the story of the Turtle and the Hare as told by the Native American Choctaw nation. In this version we learn the value of friends and helping one another. As expected Turtle wins this race but there is something very unusual about this particular turtle. A delightful read and well-illustrated When Turtle Grew Feathers is a highly recommended children's book.
