For fans of acclaimed author, Joseph Bruchac, a First Nations origin story of how humans acquired fire with the help of the animals.

Imagine a time when humans huddled together to keep from freezing in the winters. A time without fire. Fire is one of the most basic needs for survival.

Ancient stories of how it came to us can be found in virtually every human society and the indigenous cultures of North America are no exception.

However, unlike the stories of other continents, Native American traditional tales almost always seek to both entertain and teach. Also, a holistic relationship between humans and the natural world is stressed in many ways. The wisdom and the assistance of the animals are often crucial.

Such is the case in this Algonkian story of how a boy, with the aid of Fox, stole fire from the deadly monsters who selfishly kept it for themselves. Be ready to both enjoy and learn as you read this vibrantly illustrated telling of First Fire.
