The First Mosquito (Coastal Spirit Tales)

A slightly scarier, mysterious folktale describing the origin of the mosquito. A young boy gets lost in the woods and, in an effort to lead him home, his mother accidentally attracts a bloodthirst creature. They push it into the fire and the ashes turn into thousands of mosquitos. The story is accompanied by beautifully integrated realistic and Native art.
