From the heartbreaking Mi’kmaq story of Minnow, a mermaid in<br />
the Atlantic who must choose between two worlds to that of Water<br />
Lily and her five brothers, told by the Coos in British Columbia,<br />
creatures that inhabit fantastic realms appear in many First<br />
Nation stories. C. J. Taylor draws from those stories and from<br />
her own Mohawk heritage in this collection of haunting tales<br />
about some of the powerful spirits who touch the lives of human<br />
folk. The spirits of heaven and earth from the Ute help bring an<br />
understanding of the stars in the sky. The Cree story, “Souls in<br />
the Fog,” presents the battle between the good and the evilminded.<br />
The Ojibwa “Fairy Village” is a unique and touching<br />
love story. Illustrated with her own powerful oil paintings, this is<br />
a collection to read and an excellent story-teller’s resource.<br />
C. J. TAYLOR is an internationally acclaimed artist and children’s<br />
author of Mohawk heritage. Her paintings are in many private<br />
collections across North America. A self-taught artist and storyteller,<br />
she has organized exhibitions of Native art in several cities and has<br />
traveled extensively, helping make the rich cultural history of the First<br />
Nations accessible to young people. She now lives in British Columbia.<br />
PRAISE FOR ALL THE STARS IN THE SKY:<br />
“A highlight of books by C.J. Taylor are her vivid interpretations of the<br />
legends she has gathered. A self-taught artist, she combines the<br />
dreamscape of the traditional story with her own modern abstract<br />
sensibilities. Bright colours, sweeping lines and unusual characters . . .<br />
make them interesting to study and interpret.” Highly ecommended.<br />
– CM Magazine<br />
PRAISE FOR PEACE WALKER:<br />
“C.J. Taylor’s beautifully illustrated and vividly written interpretation<br />
of the Iroquois legend of Hiawatha and Tekanawita is destined to<br />
become a classroom and library favorite . . .” Highly Recommended.<br />
