Hiawatha and the Peacemaker

This is a worthy goal of knowledge for the Soul.

I used this as part of my Native American unit in my 5th grade social studies class. Brilliantly written and beautifully illustrated book that my students enjoyed and were able to make great connections with. A great addition to my classroom library!

Beautifully illustrated book!

I bought Hiawatha and the Peacemaker for my 4 yr old grandson. I read the story to him and he loves the story. i'm keeping the book for him until he is old enough to take care of it. Every time he comes to see me he gets excited about the book. He wants me to get it for him and he turns the pages as he begins to tell me the story. He understands who the Peacemaker is and why he approaches Hiawatha to help him spread peace throughout the tribes. It is a delight to see how much he loves this story. I recommend this book for all ages. It is a beautiful story with awesome artfstic illustrations.

This book was a gift for my grandsons. My daughter shared with me that they loved the story and illustrations. My daughter thought the theme of the story was especially meaningful in our current environment.

This story is both educational and entertaining. It's a must-read for kids of all ages and a great read for adults as well. As a long time fan of Robbie Robertson, I know his remarkable way with words and this book is his story telling at its finest. In addition, the illustrations are gorgeous and enhance the story with colorful and compelling artwork. I wholeheartedly recommend the book without reservation. You will enjoy reading this book to your children and grandchildren as much as they will enjoy listening to you.

A well told true story of Deganawida and Hiawatha. I highly recommend it!

I pre-ordered two of these books for my grandchildren. I love Robbie and I love No, David BUT these illustrations are too SCARY for my grandchildren. The books have been put away and I just borrowed one of them. The story is GREAT and UPLIFTING and the SCARY guy gets healthy and NOT scary. AND then I go to listen to the CD and it was almost IMPOSSIBLE to REMOVE. Did anybody check this factor before the book was sent out??? AND the CD skips and repeats itself - I'm sure damaged by the process.

Beautiful illustrations and a well-told story of Hiawatha. Not ucj is known about the Native Americans in the UK. It's amazing how many people here think Hiawatha was a woman. More education is needed here. Nobody seems to care about the Native American people today as they say it doesn't concern them. So much ignorance. Hopefully this book will open at least a few eyes.

I picked this up for my 5 and 8 year olds, on return from a summer trip to Canada. We'd spent some memorable time in Algonquin Park canoeing, and this is one they've read and read. It's got a strong message and wonderful animation. Recommended if you want to bring the First Nations / tribes to life through story.

Lovely book Love It beautiful pictures and great story

Truly wonderful book. I bought this for my grandson but I may keep it for myself. A book for all ages.

Very well written, wonderful artwork in big fullsize pictures, bonus CD by Author-Singer-Songwriter. The truth based legend of the Manifestation of the Creator (Prophet), The Peacemaker and His disciple Hiawatha, who started the Iroquois Confederacy peace treaty which was one of the inspirations for the U.S. Constitution.
