The Legend of Bucky the Beaver

Book excerpt: Legends are made from what most people thought could never be done. Someone did the impossible. Something happened that no one thought would ever happen. Sheer determination wins out over the unthinkable task. And so it is with the legend of Bucky the beaver. His story is carved in trees all over the world and passed on by father to child throughout time. His story is one of remarkable determination and willpower in spite of his handicap—his buckteeth—and the tremendous teasing from all the other beavers. He alone would set the example for all that would give an ear to the story. No one could believe that a little bucktoothed beaver could change the world for the better and set the bar so high for us all to aspire to. Never give up!
