"To live content with small means, to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion, to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich, to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly, to listen to stars and birds, tobabes and sages, with open heart, to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never, in a word to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common, this is to be my symphony."
- William Henry Channing

| |  | | | In Brief
"According to the 'Storyteller's Note,' Wood has based her story on a legend of the Chumash Indians, who live near her home in California. Wood notes that she has added characters and expanded the tale. Earth goddess Hutash creates people in her image to live on Limuw, her island home. When the people flourish, Limuw becomes . . . crowded. Hutash tells her people that some must cross over the rainbow bridge that she will stretch to the mainland. . . . {As they cross}, a few lose their balance and fall into the ocean. Rather than see them drown, Hutach turns them into dolphins." (Booklist) "Kindergartento grade four." (SLJ)
| | | | From The Publisher
On the island of Limuw, where the heavens touch the sea, Hutash the earth goddess walked alone until she planted the seeds from a sacred plant. Instead of flowers, beautiful people came forth from each plant and populated the island, forming the Chumash tribe. When the tribe grows too numerous for the island, Hutash must decide what to do with them. Full color.
