The Terrible Chenoo: A Tale from the Algonquin Nations

by Fran Parnell, Sophie Fatus (Illustrator)

Overview

Discover what happens when a brave woman and her husband are kind to a terrible Chenoo.

This retold folktale, inspired by the Algonquian Nations, promotes a timely message about responding to bullies with friendship and kindness. Brimming with full-color artwork by favorite Barefoot illustrator Sophie Fatus, The Terrible Chenoo encourages readers who are just beginning to enjoy chapter books to grasp more advanced vocabulary and sentence structure.
