The Native American legend that tells the story of the Eagle came to be. Detailed pencil drawings have won this book a Caldecott honor.

Classroom connections: This story could be used as an example of Native American tales and creation myths.

This story is a legend because it has been told and retold over the years.
This is a good example of characterization because during the journy the mouse must change. He is an example of a dynamic character. As the story progresses he becomes more self-sacrificing and this allows him to reach the far-off land.
