Little Turtle yearns to be a respected brave, not a papoose who picks roots and berries with the women. But when his father leaves with the hunting party, Turtle must stay behind. Laughing Bird finds him, angry and crying in the fields, and shares a special, secret story that leads him toward an unexpected adventure... and a change of heart.

Transporting readers to the starkly beautiful North American plains, author Sandra Byrd and illustrator Alyssa Mehlhorn weave universal storytelling traditions and captivating paintings with solid biblical truth. Together, they create a touching allegory about humility and obedience through a tale of the sun, the moon, and a young boy who learns it is better to reflect God's glory than to serve his own.
