Sometimes we don't always see the clear reason for our actions right away. Steven Jones had listened to many a tale from his Father. He put this one into poetic form after his Father's passing. But then it sat and patiently waited for the next generation to play it's part. And when Steven Jr. asked to illustrate the story it had come full circle.
This is not so very different from what happens in this tale. Days pass easily in Peaceful Valley, but then an event occurs that shakes up the residents and new respect is given to two average members of the group. Meanwhile, flying over head, having shown up just when he was needed was Blue Eagle, the spiritual version of Jones's Father.
With a catchy tune to finish things up and wonderfully colorful illustrations capturing all the expressions the members of Peaceful Valley go thru during this story we should all be ready, when we finish reading, for a romp in the nearest meadow.
Even if that meadow's only in our dreams!
