Description

Spirit of the Cedar People is the second book in a storytelling series devoted to preserving the spoken word. It was made for both parent and child and is oversized to envelop the entire family. I wanted the book to look and feel magical to complement the unusual tales. Each book in the series will capture the spirit of a particular region and present the art with as much pride as possible, giving the words the power they deserve.
