Review of The Woman Who Fell From the Sky,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Woman Who Fell from the Sky: The Iroquois Story of Creation (Library Binding)
A woman falling from the sky country lands on the mud covered turtle with the help of the ducks and water animals. All of which were created while she was falling. With her powers of creation she made the mud grow and grow, eventually becoming the size of the Earth. Her two children came from underneath her heart, Sapling and Flint, who helped create all the parts of the Earth. Sapling and Flint fly up to the sky when they have finished each going their separate ways. Supposedly we can see their separate paths in the Milky Way. I enjoyed this different perspective of how the Earth was created. It is a good way to introduce a unit about Native Americans to a class. Also it will give them a different way of looking at the world. I think this book can be used with children of all ages because the pictures are enjoyable and go along with the story.
