About Earth Made New: A collection of Plains Indian creation stories that recount how the Earth was remade after a great flood. Drawing from the traditional beliefs of the Cheyenne, Blackfoot, Arapaho, Crow, and other Plains tribes, Paul Goble weaves together legends of Earth Maker, the animals who helped restore the land, and the creation of buffalo, mountains, plants, and Thunderbird spirits.

About the author: Paul Goble (1933–2017), born in England, devoted his life to sharing Native American traditions through more than 30 illustrated books, including the Caldecott Medal winner The Girl Who Loved Wild Horses. Inspired by childhood stories, he spent summers on reservations, was adopted by Lakota and Yakima people, and settled in South Dakota’s Black Hills in 1977, drawing deeply from Lakota, Cheyenne, and Blackfoot stories to celebrate their culture and wisdom.
