This book has some heavy hitters! Not only an incredible story (Hiawatha and the Peacemaker), but it is told by Robbie Roberts (famous guitarist in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame) and illustrated by David Shannon (known for illustrating Caldecott winner No, David!). You even get a CD with a song by the author! So, back to the story. It explains how the Six Nations of the northern US tribes came into being. There is action, tragedy, forgiveness, and resolution. It is a story the author heard as a young person of Mohawk and Cayuga heritage. The artwork is just incredible. Each one originated as an oil painting. ~Sara

Description
Publisher's Description of Hiawatha and the Peacemaker
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 Peacemaker's 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, Robertson and Shannon have crafted a new children's classic that will both educate and inspire readers of all ages.
Includes a CD featuring a new, original song written and performed by Robbie Robertson.
