Coyote Christmas: A Lakota Story
Christmas with a Lakota trick!
A traditional Native American character gets a modern update in this charming Christmas tale
On Christmas Eve, Coyote wants to find some people to trick out of a hot meal. Sneaky Coyote is known in the Native American tradition as the Trickster. He knows that there€s one character people can€t refuse on Christmas Eve: Santa Claus! Using straw for a jolly belly and wool for his Santa€s beard, the Trickster fools a family into welcoming him to their Christmas meal. But just when he thinks he€s gotten away with his ruse, taking their food and leaving the family with nothing, he€s foiled by a strange occurrence. Could it be a Christmas miracle?
Coyote€s antics, beautifully told and illustrated by S. D. Nelson, will delight readers, and his eventual comeuppance just in time for Christmas makes this a perfect holiday tale.
