First Woman and the Strawberry
(A Cherokee Legend)
,

retold by Gloria Domenic

Character Trait  = Compassion

This book tells the story of an argument between First Man and First Woman and how the strawberry was created. It was chosen by Tina Square and Tim Horton who attend the St. Regis Mohawk School.

“The best part of this book is when the Great Spirit created the strawberry for the First Woman and the First Woman ate the strawberry and forgot about her anger at First Man. I encourage other kids to read this book, too, because it is about Native Americans.”
