Overview
Bilingual - English/ Tutelo-Saponi. Washakie, a young Haliwa-Saponi Indian boy, actively engages with his grandma as she recounts his favorite story, the ""Bear in the Woods."" This tale features Running Deer, a young boy very similar to Washakie. Running Deer's energy and curiosity to join his brothers and father in the tribal hunt leads him to an encounter with a Momma Bear and her cub in the woods. The story reflects the rich life and culture of the Red Earth People (Haliwa-Saponi Indian tribe), and their connection to Mother Earth and Great Spirit. Running Deer and Washakie share the experience of learning to listen to their elders and respect the order of the natural world around them. Bilingual - English/ Tutelo-Saponi.

He loves to share memories and stories of his beloved Puerto Rico. As a child he lived in the neighborhood ""La Mineral"" in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico and he says they are his best childhood memories. His stories are often drawn from his lived experiences and this story, he says, is inspired by one of those defining moments. He has quixotic dreams that many consider impossible. But with faith, perseverance and determination he has been able to accomplish a few. One of those dreams was to create an annual international literary festival that would honor the Spanish writer and literary giant Miguel De Cervantes Saavedra and the 400 years of ""Don Quixote"", two books that changed his life. A dream that he realized in 2015.Osuba says: ""It is important that we teach our children the power of ""Dreaming big"". He often quotes Nelson Mandela: ""It always seems impossible until it's done.""Osuba has three adult children, Raffi, Gabbi and Leilani. He lives in the city of Raleigh, North Carolina with his wife, best friend and muse Michelle.
