About the Author
John Steptoe was born in Brooklyn. From early childhood, he drew pictures and told stories with them. He started work on Stevie, his first picture book, when he was sixteen, and Stevie was published three years later to outstanding critical acclaim. Since then, he has written and illustrated many successful books for children. John Lewis Steptoe, creator of award-winning picture books for children, was born in Brooklyn on September 14, 1950 and was raised in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of that borough. He began drawing as a young child and received his formal art training at the High School of Art and Design in Manhattan. He was a student in the HARYOU-ACT Art Program and instructed by the highly recognized African American oil painter, Norman Lewis. He also studied at the Vermont Academy, where he was instructed by the sculptor, John Torres, and William Majors, a painter acclaimed by the Museum of Modem Art for his etchings and print-making.His work first came to national attention in 1969 when his first book, Stevie, appeared in its entirety in Life magazine, hailed as "a new kind of book for black children." Mr. Steptoe, who had begun work on Stevie at the age of 16, was then 18 years old.In his 20-year career, Mr. Steptoe illustrated 15 more picture books, ten of which he also wrote. The American Library Association named two of his books Caldecott Honor Books, a prestigious award for children's book illustration: The Story of Jumping Mouse in 1985 and Mufaro's Beautiful Daughters in 1988. Mr. Steptoe twice received the Coretta Scott King Award for Illustration, for Mother Crocodile (text by Rosa Guy) in 1982, and for Mufaro's Beautiful Daughters.While all of Mr. Steptoe's work deals with aspects of the African American experience, Mufaro's Beautiful Daughters was acknowledged by reviewers and critics as a breakthrough. Based on an African tale recorded in the 19th century, it required Mr. Steptoe for the first time to research African history and culture, awakening his pride in his African ancestry. Mr. Steptoe hoped that his books would lead children, especially African American children, to feel pride in their origins and in who they are. "I am not an exception to the rule among my race of people," he said, accepting the Boston Globe/Horn Book Award for Illustration, "I am the rule. By that I mean there are a great many others like me where I come from."Mr. Steptoe frequently spoke to audiences of children and adults about his work. He was the 1989 winner of the Milner Award, voted by Atlanta schoolchildren for their favorite author.John Steptoe died on August 28, 1989 at Saint Luke's Hospital in Manhattan, following a long illness. He was 38 years old and lived in Brooklyn. Mr. Steptoe was among the small handful of African American artists who have made a career in children's books.

I first heard this little story when it as read by a teacher during a three-month silent meditation retreat, and it's a beautiful exploration of compassion in action and of non-grasping. Anyone doing tonglen practice might find it very much to the point. And with its pictures, it's lovely for children.I'm not sure how a Native American might feel about yet another appropriation by white people of a Native American story, but I am grateful for the depth of the story might have for all human beings.
Among the many beautiful books created by John Steptoe, this book is surprising and unique. The large format spreads are filled with detailed drawings that bring us right into another world. No, wait: It's OUR world — the natural world — presented here on an intimate, kid-sized scale. When in nature, we inhale the freshness of life. Invite the children in your life to climb into "The Story of Jumping Mouse“ — to absorb a simple, deep and important message about difference and self-acceptance.
One of my favorite folk tales, this is the story of a brave little mouse who breaks out of mousy stereotypes and takes a journey to find his real self. He gets some help along the way as he moves from his small, limited existence, to soaring adulthood. In the days when few read and there were no books, the wise elders told these stories to help children understand about the challenges life would bring to them. Later, these tales were collected and now they can be shared; a great and abiding gift.
"Jumping Mouse, I give you a new name..." I found this wonderful book by complete accident when I was at a POW WOW in Indio, California. It was in soft cover and I had to have it in hard cover. How I adore the black and white drawings which give another dimension to the meaning of the story. Jumping Mouse had courage, hope and boundless compassion that transformed him into a creature he never thought he would ever become. But then, he did not set out on the journey thinking he would receive a reward. He simply wanted to see the Far Off Land. I intend to purchase more hard covers of this book to give as gifts to my friends. Truly, one of the most magical stories I have ever read in my life.
This has very nice drawings and story; although, not the whole story as told in the original Seven Arrows book.
We use this book during our American Indian unit to teach symbolism. Great story for my 5th grade students.
This is a gorgeous book for any seeker out there that wonders what might happen if they follow their dream. I'm a coach, and I send it to clients all of the time. This native American tale is all about the ups and downs in the journey to find your purpose.
John Steptoe's 40-page illustrated version of The Story of Jumping Mouse is a Native American legend of a Magic Frog who gives his jumping legs to a discouraged young mouse that had recently set out on a quest -- a journey to a far-off land. The frog also tells Jumping Mouse to remember three words -- "never lose hope." Rejuvenated and able to travel much more quickly, Jumping Mouse continues on his journey. On the way he encounters a fat mouse who invites him to stay with him the rest of his life in a safe haven. But Jumping Mouse is determined to continue his quest and later discovers his acquaintance is eaten by a snake. When his journey brings him to a vast prairie Jumping Mouse is surprised to meet a lonely buffalo just standing there. Upon inquiry, he learns that the buffalo is blind, so Jumping Mouse imitates Magic Frog by giving his eyes sight to a blind buffalo and the buffalo leads him across the prairie on his back. At the end of the prairie the buffalo can go no further and Jumping Mouse recalls Magic Frog's words, "never lose hope" and thus journeys animal that identifies himself as a fox that can't smell. Jumping Mouse tries his magic once more and is able to give the fox his nose. The fox, delighted at his cure, accompanies Jumping Mouse through the forest. But as the forest ends at the foot of a mountain and the fox can not go any further, Jumping Mouse goes to sleep in despair in the face of this seemingly hopeless barrier to his goal. Suddenly Magic Frog appears again and tells Jumping Mouse to jump as high as he can and remember his words, "never lose hope." He gathers his courage, leaps as high as he can, and discovers himself soaring over the mountain as Magic Frog below shouts out Jumping Mouse's new name -- "Eagle." This is a wonderful story to teach children about Hope, Determination, Sacrifice, Hardship, and Compassion.
