The Rainbow People: An Award-Winning Collection of Tales about Tricksters, Virtues, and Humor for Children (Ages 8-12) (MS LITERATURE BOOKSOURCE)

"Culled from 69 stories collected in a [1930s] WPA project, [these 20] tales are organized into sections with themes like 'Tricksters' or 'Virtues and Vices,' each with a thoughtful introduction placing the individual stories in the context of feelings and background of the original tellers. Yep's telling is vigorous, often poetic, imbued with earthy humor and realism touched with fatalism. A handsomely designed collection." —K.
