Courageous Spirits: Aboriginal Heroes of Our Children

Penticton, B.C. Theytus Books, 1993. First Edition, First Printing. Softcover. pp. xxvi, 172. 4to. measuring 28 cm. Pictorial covers. Black-and-white illustrations. Bright, clean, and unmarked with firm, sound binding. Appears unread; as new. The stories that comprise this anthology are the stories of heroes. Not so much the Hollywood hero or the heroes of dimestore paperbacks, comic books or television but the everyday heroes that walk among us, touching us with the simple radiance of their lives. Heroes are seen through the eyes of Aboriginal children. The heroes who play the roles of mother, father, aunt, uncle, grandfather, grandmother, chief, artist, and friend. Accessible heroes whose magic is their proximity itself".
