Seek the Better Place: A Cohanzick Lenape Tale - Paperback

by Arnild C. Aldepolla (Illustrator), Tyrese Gould Jacinto (Author)

What does it mean to seek? When we seek, is it because we know that there is something better then what we have? We are always looking for better opportunities, better comfort, and a generally better life. As we age, we discover that we are exactly where we were. Nothing has changed. Yes, we may have a bigger home, more cars, a new job, etc. But we continue to seek more.If we are lucky, we may find the answer to the age-old question, can I rest? How can I be satisfied with my accomplishments? People will always have a little more, and people may have a little less, but only if we are seeking in the wrong places.This story is about Koamene and his lesson about seeking. Koamene lived in the Cohanzick Lenape village in the place that we now call New Jersey. His home was right along the Cohanzick river situated between the bay and streams.Join us in this journey of the past that brings your imagination through time as though you are living in a Lenape village hundreds of years ago before the Natives discovered the Europeans that came ashore. The illustrations of this book are incredible, and the artist intrigues each page with amazing details. Native American Story
