The Windigo's Return

My children enjoyed The Windigo's Return. This story of the origin of Mosquitoes is based on Ojibway legend. It has suspense and humor.....and not enough suspense to really frighten children. The Native American imagery is not mawkish and children today can feel kinship with the heroine. The pictures are good. We enjoy rereading it.
