Trade Review"This delightful story is wonderful example of both the subtle directness and the deep awareness of our relation to the natural world that characterizes the very best American Indian traditional storytelling. Allen’s voice is both gentle and strong. I can’t think of a book I could recommend more highly for anyone who wants to give a young reader a true picture of the Native way of seeing, teaching, and understanding." -- Joseph Bruchac, author of more than 100 books, many of which reflect his American Indian (Abenaki) ancestry, including the young adult novel Killer of Enemies.
" Sockabasin weaves a powerful story of paternal love while simultaneously expressing the mutual respect between his Passamaquoddy culture and the natural world." -- School Library Journal
"…a perfect bedtime story." -- Multicultural Review
"Sockabasin’s tale is richly delineated by Raye’s evocative images. A tale for the seasons!" -- Native Peoples
