Keokee's Destiny | Bücher.de

In the anticipated sequel to Keokee the Cherokee Boy, readers closely follow Keokee as he becomes torn between his true destiny and abandoning his rare gift in search of a normal life among his tribe. When Keokee discovered his ability to understand the languages of the wolf, crow, and other forest creatures, it became clear he is very different from the other Cherokee boys in his village of Oconaluftee. The ability, however rare and wonderful, set him apart from his peers in a way he never intended. Recognizing his son's odd gift, Keokee's father Stonega accompanies the boy to the Cherokee capital of Chota, hoping to solve the mystery of his son's ability. In Chota, Keokee and Stonega visit The Old One; the revered Keeper of Knowledge for the Cherokee Nation. He relates the ancient legend of the first Keokee and reveals Stonega's boy has a great destiny ahead of him. The Old One instructs father and son to return to their home, where Keokee will continue his "adventures" while learning the things Hawk, Crane, Chipmunk, and others of the forest clans can teach the Cherokee. Happy for more answers but unsatisfied with the result of the news, Keokee does return home - but with a massive weight on his chest. Soon, Keokee faces a tough realization: his destiny is not his own; instead, it's intertwined with the many people, plants, and animals of the world - even those he hasn't yet encountered. This sequel spins a relatable narrative for children and adults alike. Full of wonder, values, and purpose, Keokee's Destiny is a reminder that humans still have much to learn from nature, but they need to experience it firsthand. The novel teaches young children that when people sometimes fear or hate others, it's simply because they do not understand them.
