Overview
Share in a raven’s sense of wonder in this gorgeous picture book that brings Richard Wagamese’s words to young audiences.
“Reuben was an inquisitive raven. Of course, all ravens are inquisitive, but Reuben was a notch above even the most curious bird.” So begins a story by beloved 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 as high as her, in order to earn the other animals’ respect—only to learn that respect is not something one earns, but something one carries.
This book is yet another example from Richard Wagamese about the power of storytelling. Beautifully illustrated by original work from Anishinaabe artist Bridget George, The Inquisitive Raven is sure to be cherished by readers of all ages.
