It's not everyday you meet a giant rabbit who can do magic...

Nanabozo, the Great Rabbit, is... well, a giant rabbit. He’s also a powerful sorcerer, and Rainbow’s spirit guide, as Great Eagle is for Yakari. When he appears to the young Sioux to tell him his charge has disappeared, little Yakari is swept up in a quest that will make him turn into a giant, run on smoke, fly, and travel to the ice banks where the polar bears play.

La conquista del West è un momento epico della storia dell'uomo moderno. L'affermazione della forza di volontà su ogni difficoltà e il trionfo della capacità di adattamento dell'essere umano sulle avversità hanno consacrato i pionieri del West a eroi che, con le loro famiglie, sfidavano i propri limiti alla ricerca di un posto da chiamare casa. Infinite storie colme di pathos hanno creato il mito del West, ma pochi autori sono riusciti a emozionare come Derib e Greg, che, narrando le vicende di Barnaby Bumper e della sua famiglia in viaggio verso una terra promessa, hanno dipinto con la maestria che solo i grandi autori posseggono un affresco iconico in cui piccoli grandi sognatori puntano verso l'orizzonte al grido di 'Go West!'.

When the beavers bring Yakari a battered old canoe, the young Sioux and his friends repair it and go for a little trip—and find more adventure than they bargained for, in the person of a father coyote. Fortunately, their new friend is up to his reputation for cunning: When Buffalo Seed is cornered by an angry puma, it will take all of the coyote's tricks, combined with Yakari's bravery, to get the young hunter out of his predicament.

A strange eagle has wounded a brave from Yakari's tribe and stolen his talisman. To recover it and allow the man to wake from his unnatural slumber, young Yakari will have to climb a mountain to find the eagle's nest. Forced to go alone when Little Thunder can't follow anymore, he will have to make new friends-with sure feet and warm coats-and brave the majestic bird's proud anger.

Tormented Wolf, a warrior from Yakari's tribe, has an obsession: to take his revenge on the wolf that attacked and injured him three winters before. This wolf limps... Yakari has crossed the path of Three Legs. He is afraid, but a dream and the intervention of Great Eagle, his totem, encourage him to join the wolves. He will earn the trust of the pack's leader...

There's panic among the beavers. A pelican, fiendishly sick with a cold, makes an emergency landing among them. Not only does this undesirable guest keep all the neighbourhood awake with his monstrous sneezes, but he's dying of hunger. Yakari and Little Thunder bring him to the otters, who cram him with fish. The pelican puts on weight again quickly, but his thundering cold persists!

Yakari dreams of meeting his friend Giant Eagle and attempts to make his wish come true by trying to fly, but instead realizes he has another talent--he can talk to animals.

Yakari's Sioux tribe is short of food as spring approaches, and when the hunters leave in pursuit of buffalo and cannot be found, it is up to Yakari to follow his prophetic dream and find the buffalo his tribe need to survive.

Yakari, while riding his horse through the woods, happens upon a colony of beavers. While enjoying a dip in the river with them, Yakari discovers that each has his own personality and characteristics. The storyline is message-driven and teaches children about tolerance, friendship and respect for the environment. Beautiful full colour illustrations complement simple, easy-to-read texts to make reading appealing to children of all reading levels, and especially to reluctant readers.
