This is a collection of stories and old legends that have been handed down from generation to generation of Seminole Indian children. I consider them "bedtime" stories, with a twist: The young Seminoles were told these tales as they were being tucked into their mosquito nets at night. In the colorful pages of this beautifully-illustrated book, I had a chance to meet the Deer Girl, the Eagle and the Corn Lady.
