How did the moon find its place in the sky? Was it carried on the wings of a trickster, or is it a secret held by the ancestors?
In the quiet of a cedar-scented night, Little Miss Chief lies beneath the stars, wondering about the mysteries of the world above. When a glossy-winged visitor glides down from the trees, she learns that some questions aren't answered with facts-but with stories.
Enter Raven, the clever and mischievous guide of the Northwest. With a puff of his chest and a sparkle in his eye, he whisks Little Miss Chief back to a time when the world was dark and the first spirits waited inside a shimmering shell.
Through Raven's "clever plans" and "shiny pebbles," young readers will discover:
The Balance of Nature: Why the moon, sun, and stars are essential to our world.
Spirit in the World: A gentle introduction to seeing the life and wisdom in rocks, trees, water, and animals.
This beautifully told story captures the playful curiosity of childhood and the timeless depth of Pacific Northwest-inspired folklore. It is a story where the line between a trick and the truth is as thin as the wind through the leaves.
Heartfelt & Heritage-Rich: This series is a tribute to the legacy of Ellen Melcosky, the original "Little Miss Chief," celebrating a spirit of wit, determination, and a heart full of wonder.
Step into the moonlight. Join Little Miss Chief and Raven on an adventure that proves a little mischief can help the world walk more wisely.
