Paul Goble was a painter who retold old Lakota stories with vibrancy and mysticism. I used this as a literary compliment to the Native Americans unit in social studies for 5th grade. I have a collection of his books and the students all love them. He makes the stories come alive. We have a Paul Goble painting day at the end of the unit where students illustrate other legends in his style. This is a perfect gift for a teacher, a student of legends, art or a 4th-8th grade student. It also works well for teaching second language learners American legends and English.
