Description
Named one of the Top 10 Native American Books for Elementary Schools by American Indians in Children's Literature
Little Zoo Sap and his family are moving from their summer home on the coast to their winter home in the deep woods. Unnoticed, the youngster tumbles off the end of the sled.
Alone, cold, and frightened, Zoo Sap cries, and his cries attract the forest animals. Beginning with beaver and ending with the great bald eagle, the animals rush to protect the baby and shelter him from the cold until his father returns for him. A beguiling bedtime story and a profound expression of reverence for the natural world. Lexile Level 620
