Why does Tortoise move so slowly? Why does Bobcat have such a short tail? And why does Roadrunner fly so close to the ground and not high in the sky like Eagle? Because the Great Spirit made them special so that they could survive in the desert.
But Jackrabbit, who has been especially chosen by the Great Spirit to lead these new creatures to earth and introduce them to their desert homes, does not listen carefully to what the Great Spirit tells him about each one. He makes up stories in answer to their questions--stories that cause his friends to feel bad about themselves.
This book is a sensitive and original tale that teaches children to listen carefully, to treat others kindly, and to see that they (like Bobcat, Tortoise, Roadrunner and even Jackrabbit) are all special in their own ways.
