The Earth does not belong to us. We belong to the Earth. The great American Indian Chief Seattle spoke these words over a hundred years ago. His remarkably relevant message of respect for the Earth and every creature on it has endured the test of time and is imbued with passion born of love of the land and the environment. Illustrated by award-winning artist Susan Jeffers, the stirring pen-and-color drawings bring a wide array of Native Americans to life while capturing the splendor of nature and the land. Children and parents alike will enjoy the timeless, poignant message presented in this beautifully illustrated picture book.

"Together, Seattle's words and Jeffers's images create a powerful message; this thoughtful book deserves to be pondered and cherished by all." (Publishers Weekly )

Illustrated by Susan Jeffers.

This book can make you cry. As Chief Seattle was about to sign over the land of his people to the Americans that more or less demanded it, he made the most beautiful and touching speech about the sanctity of the land. Susan Jeffers is an outstanding illustrator. Every page contains her art work and overlayed is the text of the speech. There is a two piece spread where you can find symbols hidden in the artwork. The children really loved these pages. But all of them are outstanding and show the greatest respect for the Native Americans and their love of the earth. This book will bring a tear to the eye of many readers, mine included.

I am a retired second grade teacher. I would read this story to my students every year, discussing how we could each help and give respect to our environment. I bought this book for my brand new grandson so that he too will respect and appreciate our Mother Earth.

I feel that this book tells children about Indian heritage and the fact that white men don't respect land and nature the way Cheif Seatttle and his tribe did. The pictures in the book are wonderful and realistic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow...

I had no idea what to expect. I ordered this for my 2 yr old indigenous daughter so we will have more cultural stories to read (we read a LOT)... and from the moment I opened the book, the beauty of the illustrations here actually shocked me! It’s all sooo beautiful. Just stunning.
The speech is a bit intense for my little one, but for now I just edit out the war and blood part when I read it aloud, and just read her the cultural teachings. She loves the pictures, and the message of the book itself will definitely be readable for her for many years to come.
