The Island of Earth & Beginning of Time ~ a story of a Native American myth

This is a nice little story based on a Cherokee myth about the beginning of time. I originally wrote it for my 2nd grade class to learn proper nouns and thought it was also nice as story by itself. Plus, it got me drawing again, and even though I've seen better illustrations, they are mine and were fun to do. This can also be used for Thanksgiving! Thanks for your time, and enjoy :-) ~ Adam Stuart
