My Project
My students absolutely adore the Native American adapted folktale, How Chipmunk Got His Stripes. In this book, Bear brags that he can do anything, even stop the sun from rising. Brown Squirrel doesn't believe him, so the two wait all night to see if the sun will rise. Sure enough, the sky reddens and the sun appears. Brown Squirrel is so happy to be right that he teases Bear. What happens when a little brown squirrel teases a big black bear? Brown Squirrel gets stripes and is called chipmunk from that day forward. The book has multiple messages, charming illustrations, and many funny parts. My students couldn’t get enough of it when I read it to them and I would love for them to have their very own copy!
Your donation will help my students deepen their love of literature and will also help them build their home libraries.
