The Woman in the Woods and Other North American Stories is a serviceable retelling of stories from a variety of tribal nations. These stories are meant for a juvenile audience and serve as a great introduction to the diversity of Native American life and themes. Each story has a different author and/or artist which is apparent in the differing quality of the art. The art tends to skew more standard cartoony which does not always work for the stories being told.

The Woman in the Woods and Other North American Stories is a graphic novel featuring modern retellings of Native American folklore. Each of the 8 stories in this anthology has a different artist and illustrator. The stories are short and fast-paced, and the illustrations do a good job moving the stories along, This is a great resource for lower and middle-grade libraries to aid in those folklore-based ELA assignments.

The Woman in the Woods and Other North American Stories is a wonderful graphic anthology of North American folklore. The stories are from tribes across the continent. It makes a great addition to the Cautionary Fables and Fairytales & any library trying to expand its Native American holdings.
