Danielle Daniel Sometimes I Feel Like a Fox Paperback Book

Childrens love for animals and disguise come together in this awardwinning introduction to the Anishinaabe tradition of totem animals. In this introduction to the Anishinaabe tradition of totem animals, young children explain why they identify with different creatures such as a deer, beaver or moose.
