Coyote Christmas: A Lakota Story

"Coyote’s antics, beautifully told and illustrated by S. D. Nelson, will delight readers, and his eventual comeuppance just in time for Christmas makes this a perfect holiday tale." The Author's Note at the end of the story provides detailed information about Coyote, "the infamous Trickster of Native American Indian legends."

A hungry coyote tricks his way to getting a meal on Christmas Eve by pretending to be Santa. But Sister Raven plays a trick of her own that makes Christmas one to remember for a Lakota family. This book and the illustrations capture the attention of both children and adult readers.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀This book (PreK-5th), was written by S.D, Nelson, a Native American (Lakota) author. S.D. Nelson is a member of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. When he was a boy, he grew up hearing many fables about coyote. In his own words, Coyote Christmas is a contemporary story that takes place on the Standing Rock Reservation. The times have changed-and this book reflects that.

Very good and a very compassionate story

My husband so this book and just had to buy it for our 2 youngest grandsons. They have read the book several times now. I believe it will become a Christmas tradition.

as advertised, replacement book for step daughter so my granddaughter can have it when she gets couple years older

I loved it more than the Grandkids. Just having a hard time getting the kids to enjoy reading. To much computer competition.

Wonderful story! My grandchildren will love it.
