The A to Z Book of Turtle Island, Land of the Native American
A long, long time ago, when the world was one vast ocean, the creatures of the sea agreed that there should be a place for others that did not live in the water. Turtle accepted that soil brought up from the bottom of the ocean, could be placed on her back and that would form the habitat for non-sea creatures. After many failed attempts, Muskrat managed to come back with a paw-full of soil. This was placed on Turtle's back and became home to the Native American. Some of the many tribes and nations that formed from the first people are described in this, The A to Z Book of Turtle Island. This story, in a variety of versions, is the source of the name, 'Turtle Island' for the American continent. The Wyandotte (Huron) extended version of the Turtle Island Creation legend can be found at; AAANationalArts.com

Me, My Friend, and the Monster, The Coloring Book
Some stories can live forever, especially in the hearts and minds of children. This story is a real-life example of one. You have to read it to believe it!
"Growing up, our Nanny used to tell us bedtime stories about Kings and Monsters, Magic Lamps, Genies, and Flying Rugs. Later in my youth, I thrilled in reading Comic Books... My favorite thing to do was to take all of the characters I got to know from books and merge them together to make my own stories." One story I was unable to finish, and 25 years later, a school mate requested I finish the story for him.
This is the full story as a coloring book so children can read and color at the same time.
