Survival is better than a temporary answer

This book is about how a mythical being taught the native americans to weave rugs to keep them alive, through warmth and profit. The book is illustrated with vivid colors, and the story teaches young children that a temporary answer is not always the answer. It's language is simple, told in the form of a folktale - best read aloud.
