## Resource

This illustrated Native American folktale, adapted by Stephen Krensky, recounts how a shivering Coyote conspires to end a perpetual winter. Guided by a Raven, Coyote enlists a team of fast-moving animals to seize a hidden bag containing summer from a powerful woman’s tipi. The narrative utilizes a relay-style chase involving a wolf, moose, stag, elk, and antelope to outrun the woman’s children and secure warmth for the world. Beyond the story, the book provides cultural context regarding the Eastern Shoshone tribe and the traditional role of the trickster in indigenous lore. Additionally, the text includes an afterword that explores regional variations of the legend and offers resources for further learning.
