To be a human being is an honor, and we offer thanksgiving for all the gifts of life." So begins this Mohawk message of gratitude for the natural world, broadening a more common practice of giving thanks for material possessions or personal well-being. Chief Swamp (Tekaronianeken) uses simple, direct words to offer thanks for Mother Earth, animals, plants, winds, and the moon and stars. Full-color paintings fill the double-page spreads with images that add strength and vitality to the brief text. A basic version of the text in the kaniakehala (Mohawk) language is appended. A solid multicultural addition for picture-book collections. – Booklist • A Reading Rainbow Book
