K-3Grandmother Stories series.
Illustrated by
Murv Jacob.
One autumn, Rabbit accompanies his bear friend Yona to the bears' pre-hibernation gathering place, where he joins in ceremonial dances. The narrative pauses occasionally to offer pieces of Cherokee lore, but this has its own attractions; hints of Rabbit's personality still come through. The intricate white-on-black illustrations teem with Smoky Mountain wildlife.
