As the mother of a 5-year-old and a current student who will be teaching elementary school next year, I've been anxious to find culturally authentic Native American books for my daughters and for future students.

Your posting has made me realize that I do not have a copy in the school library where I now work. So I guess I know what I will be adding to my next book order. Thanks for reminding me of this favorite.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
