Paul Bunyan’s tall tales, retold from an Indigenous perspective

Dawn Quigley revisits familiar Paul Bunyan legends—the giant lumberjack, Babe the blue ox, and stories that credit Bunyan with shaping landmarks such as the Grand Canyon and Lake Superior. The book reframes those tales through the perspective of Indigenous people who lived in the landscape described as wilderness, and promises a new account of how Paul acquired his last name. The premise brings folklore together with questions about whose stories are told when legends explain a place.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 interested in folklore and tall tales
  • Families and educators seeking Indigenous perspectives in children’s fiction
  • Young readers curious about legends connected to American landmarks

Book overview

A laugh-out-loud retelling of Paul Bunyan's tall tales from a distinctly Native American perspective--from Dawn Quigley, the author of the award-winning Jojo Makoons series, and fine artist Chief Lady Bird. You've heard those tall tales about that giant lumberjack, Paul Bunyan, his big blue ox named Babe, and his girlfriend, Sally Anne Thunder Anne Whirlwind. How he created the Grand Canyon by dragging his axe, scooped out the hole for Lake Superior, and other feats of incredible strength that supposedly created the American landscape. But you haven't heard the real story, told by the indigenous people who lived in this so-called wilderness. Now you can! Including the true story of how Paul got his last name!
