Hiawatha and the Peacemaker by Robbie Robertson (English) Hardcover Book

Description: Hiawatha and the Peacemaker by Robbie Robertson The amazing story of Hiawatha as told by legendary musician Robbie Robertson and Caldecott Honor-winning illustrator David Shannon FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Born of Mohawk and Cayuga descent, musical icon Robbie Robertson learned the story of Hiawatha and his spiritual guide, the Peacemaker, as part of the Iroquois oral tradition. Now he shares the same gift of storytelling with a new generation. Hiawatha was a strong and articulate Mohawk who was chosen to translate the Peacemakers message of unity for the five warring Iroquois nations during the 14th century. This message not only succeeded in uniting the tribes but also forever changed how the Iroquois governed themselves--a blueprint for democracy that would later inspire the authors of the U.S. Constitution. Caldecott Honor-winning illustrator David Shannon brings the journey of Hiawatha and the Peacemaker to life with arresting oil paintings. Together, the team of Robertson and Shannon has crafted a new childrens classic that will both educate and inspire readers of all ages. Includes a CD featuring an original song written and performed by Robbie Robertson. Author Biography Robbie Robertson was the lead guitarist and primary songwriter of the legendary musical group the Band. Rolling Stone named him one of the greatest guitarists of all time. David Shannon is the beloved author and illustrator of numerous bestselling books for children, including the Caldecott Honor book No, David!
