(3) K-3 Illustrated by Kristina Rodanas. The characters of three men are tested when they are asked to "go to the mountaintop" and bring back what they find to Chief Sky, who is searching for a successor. Straightforwardly written and illustrated with detailed, near-panoramic images, this lesson on listening based on a Cherokee take culminates in a timeless reminder to look beyond our own suffering to acknowledge that of others.
