The stories in this coloring storybook are about Spring or its natural element, Water. This illustrated storybook offers inspiring and instructional tales for current and future generations. Telling stories has always been essential to being human - no other species tells stories. Each life in fact becomes a story. The more the world around us seeks to control our destinies and create our fates, the more we need to tell stories to one another about who we are, why we are, where we come from, and what might be possible where we are going. Stories are not just for children; they are for the child in each of us, the part of us which remembers and understands from the beginning to the end of our lives. Stories open a world in which relating to others and our environment is automatic. They boost imagination toward a place of better self-knowledge. These stories have been compiled, rethought and retold by Glenn Schiffman, a specialist in Native American myths and spirituality. Glenn created this Coloring Storybook to pass on to his twin grandsons some of the stories he's told at quarterly Equinox and Solstice ceremonies for more than fifteen years. His father was chaplain at the Cattaraugus Seneca Reservation Indian School in upstate NY, so Glenn has lived around and with American Indians since he was a boy. He appreciates the way he was taught by his Elders about how to be human: by example... via ceremonies... through stories. Glenn is now honored to share these stories with you and your children. Enjoy them - color their illustrations - and make them your own. The illustrations and design were created by Deborah Louise Brown.
