Nature’s Circle: and Other Northwest Coast Children’s Stories

Can$9.95

“Challenger’s prose bears a deliberate resemblance to First Nation oral traditions: humans and nature interact freely, and both are capable of folly, repentance, and wisdom … In his artwork, Challenger also embraces West Coast Aboriginal culture by portraying his characters in exquisite Haida-style prints … highly recommended.”
—Steve Pitt

Writer/illustrator Jim Challenger is back again, this time with the fifth instalment in his popular series of contemporary fables that present practical life lessons in a beautifully illustrated, easy-to-read framework. In Nature’s Circle, he addresses the issues challenging today’s school-aged children, including bullies, cultural differences, leadership, respect, appearance, family relations, and many more.

An exceptional resource for teachers and parents, Challenger’s stories contain simple messages, family-oriented thoughts, and a deep love and respect for nature. The uplifting wisdom and beauty of these allegories will have a long-lasting impact on readers young and old.

Robert James (Jim) Challenger is a Vancouver Island artisan who gained a love and appreciation for nature at an early age. A strong admirer of historic First Nations art, Jim began designing and carving his own images on the rounded stones he found on windswept beaches—images that inspired him to write the appealing fables that people of all ages so enjoy.
