This was a favorite as a child. However, reading this now as an adult all I can see are beautiful illustrations and white people profiting off of Native Americans. This book was not written by Chief Seattle obviously, while the words may be his, and none of the profits for this book went to helping the Native populations. Also, I don't like that they paraphrased things rather than just copying the full text. I get it's meant for kids, but never underestimate a child's mind. They adapt and learn quickly.Additionally, the native americans pictured are more like caricatures than anything. It could be better, truth be told.
