Reviews / Votes
"This delightful story is wonderful example of both the subtle directness and the deep awareness of our relation to the natural world that characterizes the very best American Indian traditional storytelling. Allen's voice is both gentle and strong. I can't think of a book I could recommend more highly for anyone who wants to give a young reader a true picture of the Native way of seeing, teaching, and understanding." -- Joseph Bruchac, author of more than 100 books, many of which reflect his American Indian (Abenaki) ancestry, including the young adult novel Killer of Enemies. " Sockabasin weaves a powerful story of paternal love while simultaneously expressing the mutual respect between his Passamaquoddy culture and the natural world." -- School Library Journal "...a perfect bedtime story." -- Multicultural Review "Sockabasin's tale is richly delineated by Raye's evocative images. A tale for the seasons!" -- Native PeoplesMore details

Allen Sockabasin is a Passamaquoddy who devotes much of his time to teaching and preserving the Passamaquoddy language. A master musician, he has written, performed, and recorded Passamaquoddy stories and songs. He has been a tribal governor, a member of the tribal council, director of child welfare for his tribe, and a health educator. In 2010, he received the Sampson Center Catalyst for Change Award, which recognizes those who work for human and civil rights in Maine. His is the father of five grown children and a young son named Zoo Sap. Rebekah Raye is an artist beloved for her bird and animal paintings and sculpture,
derived from her affinity with the natural world around her studio in East Blue
Hill, Maine. In Rebekah's words, "My early interest in animals of all kinds
continues to be the focus of
my painting and sculpture. Our pet chickens, geese, and cats-as well as the
wild fox, bobcat,
crows, and deer-are my inspiration. The more I learn about the animals I
paint, the more I understand how we are all related." Rebekah's award-winning
children's books include The Very Best
Bed, Bear-ly There, The Secret Pool, and Swimming Home, all published by Tilbury House.
