Indian Legends Retold

At Casa Grande, a great Cloud chooses a maiden for his bride. Years later, her twin sons set out to find the father they have never met—and he refuses to believe they are his children.

Elaine Goodale Eastman retells legends from many Native nations, where animals may speak, the winds have kin, and a clever trickster can be tricked in turn. These tales were carried from one generation to the next, teaching young listeners about the natural world, courage, kindness, and folly. In the Pima story “Children of the Cloud,” the boys must journey east to meet their father, facing tests that reveal powers no ordinary children possess. But the way home holds dangers of its own, and their mother is waiting. What will they meet on the path back to her?
