  This work collects stories from Native American tradition and retells them for children. The storyteller is based at the Ute Mountain Tribe reservation and the artist is a member of the Dine people, working in the artistic tradition of Native North America. The book combines ghost stories, creation myths, hero stories, traditional tales and tales in a modern setting. The Multicultural Stories stories brings together storytellers and artists to retell tales from around the world. Each title contains colourful artwork, but also allows plenty of space for the text, so that the richness of the different oral traditions is able to come out. Each story is introduced by a short information section that tells the reader about the place and people from which the story comes, and allows children to put the story into context.
