Children’s fiction book I read around 1958. Main character is “Bent Arrow”, a Native American boy with a problem with his leg. He saves his ? uncle from another warring tribe and in doing so, I think, he walked 10 paces then ran 10 paces then ran 10 paces alternating. He is renamed “True Arrow”. I do not remember the title or author.
I need the title and author for children’s book from 1960’s. American Indian boy skips school to go hunting, encounters animals small to large who send him to the next bigger animal (gopher,rabbit, bobcat, wolf, antelope, bear). Finally bear with cubs admonishes him for hunting for fun while she only hunts when hungry which is NOW so he runs back to the little schoolhouse. Illustrations are brown tones. Cover is white with little Indian boy in a long chief’s headdress. Possible title Littlest Braveheart or Little Braveheart? Maybe Scholastic or Weekly reader paperback.
Thank you for any help you can provide which will help me get another copy of this book.
