Every spring a great big monster climbs out of the lake and up the cliff to steal the mother Thunderbird's young chicks. This year she is determined to save them, but she needs human help. So she snatches up Brave Wolf while he is out hunting...

A World War II combat veteran, teacher, writer, and lecturer, Mr. Medicine Crow lives in his native Montana.
