Bruchac has rewritten seven Native American folktales as easily performed plays for classroom production, complete with stage directions and suggestions for making props and costumes. The simplified stories lack much of the flavor of the originals but are suited to elementary theatricals. Ink line drawings help set the scene and give a bit more context for the plays.
