"Rueben was an inquisitive raven. Of course, all ravens are inquisitive, but Rueben was a notch above even the most curious bird." So begins a story by beloved Indigenous author Richard Wagamese, about a raven that has the whole forest talking. Some think he is nosy, but really, he is in a state of utter amazement at the world. He suggests new designs for the beavers' dams, imitates the blue herons' one-legged stance as they spear minnows, and squawks in glee at the sight of the bears emerging from hibernation. When he sees an eagle soaring high in the sky, he tries to soar just as high to earn the other animals' respect. Ultimately, Rueben learns (the hard way) that respect is not something one earns, but something one carries. With the help of his grandfather's wisdom, Rueben discovers that wonder and curiosity, being part of a community, taking the time to investigate the things around you, celebrating knowledge and sharing it, are all worthy of respect.
This original fable from the late Richard Wagamese--one of North America's most beloved Indigenous writers--is a shining example of the power of storytelling. Beautifully illustrated with original work from Anishinaabe artist and Junior Library Guild Gold Standard winner Bridget George, The Inquisitive Raven is sure to be cherished by readers of all ages.Details
