Abstract
"The Gift of Stars, written by Basil Johnston, is a children's book. These stories teach us that we all have a gift to share. We depend on the insects, birds, fish and the animals to help us live in harmony with them. The Creator has given us these animals to provide guidance and the laws of nature to live in harmony with all creation. Living in harmony with the animals or Wesiihhik gives us the ability to have a peace of heart and the ability to overcome the challenges that life sets along The Path of Life.
The elders say that to have intellect you must have peace of heart. If you don't have peace of heart your thoughts and actions are not good. What these stories teach us is to instill a sense of worth; a heart filled with compassion, love, respect, honesty and the celebration of what the Creator has given to us."--page 3.
