Meet Little Big Chief--the most adorable chief around

Pin It

From his bouncing black braids to his paunch tummy and sturdy, brown legs, Little Big Chief is 100% lovable.
   

    He was chief of the proud-hearted, fast-running,
    bright-feathered, brave-hunting, Native People

    He’d been a good chief, but now whispers began
    He was getting too old to be head of the clan
 
And there was another problem.

    A great big bear with claws three feet long
    Sprang from its lair singing a fearful song,
    A bear that once before Big Chief had frightened away,
    But now the ugly beast had come back to stay.

No one believes Little Big Chief can fix their bear problem. In fact, they want to trade their chief in for a younger model. It's just the incentive Little Big Chief needs prove he's still proud-hearted, fast-running, bright-feathered, and brave-hunting. Especially brave-hunting.

Little Big Chief’s journey isn’t an easy one, but nothing will stop him from accomplishing what he sets out to do. He never quits, and in the end his wisdom prevails.

A balanced blend of adventure and humor, Little Big Chief is delightful from start to finish.
   
Seth (8yo) giggled at how Little Big Chief thought his loud bear-hunting song had poked holes in the clouds. But, silly Chief, it was only rain!

Morgan’s (6yo) favorite illustration is the chief getting butted of a cave by an ornery mountain goat. It's my favorite too!

Actually, every page is filled with colorful pictures that’ll make the kid in you smile. Illustrator Jessie Nilo did a fantastic job. It was her depiction of Little Big Chief that drew my attention to this book in the first place. The story of Little Big Chief and his bear hunt complete the book's charm.

Author Delores Topliff has created a beautiful hardback book with glossy pages that are sure to withstand those sticky little fingers. She knows how to capture and hold a child’s attention while teaching valuable life lessons.
