The Grandfather Teachings

When Beshkno's bad mood leads to trouble in the kitchen, his grandfather invites him outside to learn an important lesson beneath the shade of the maple tree. Through story, laughter, and the wisdom of the wolf, Beshkno begins to understand what it means to walk with humility-to live for others, to show respect, and to recognize that strength and kindness can coexist.Rooted in the Seven Grandfather Teachings shared among the Potawatomi people, this gentle bilingual story introduces children to values that guide a good life: Humility, Bravery, Honesty, Wisdom, Truth, Respect, and Love.Written in both English and Spanish, The Grandfather Teachings: Humility celebrates family, tradition, and the lessons that connect all living things. Perfect for classroom discussion, home reading, and cultural education.
