Welcome to Litsy!

Very good!!!

I really enjoyed learning of traditional games and customs of the Ojibwe tribe with this series. Omakayas learns to trust her gift of dreams. #SeriesRead @TheSpineView

I am posting one book per day from my extensive collection. No description. No explanation. Some will be old. Some will be new. Don't judge me. I have a lot of books. Join the fun if you want.

“Anyway, this baby soon stopped reminding anyone of anybody but himself, for he was clever-eyed with a watchful face and a sharp bow of a mouth that he held in a quizzical line.“

I would use this in my classroom because this book is age-appropriate and will engage the student's in the book and encourage them to read.

This book is historical fiction because it is accurate and authentic when possible. The facts and diction are blended in such a way it is hard to tell that it is a fictional book.

“If the fire from her eyes could scorch him, Pinch would be the first to yell out”

I would keep this book in my library. Just after reading a few pages, I could see how moving this book could be.

What is really amazing about this book is that there is a glossary at the end to help the reader define difficult words.The vocabulary of this book connects with the traditional vocabulary the Ojibwe used. This books whole message is that people must be appreciative of their home. Omakayas may have not been a real person, but her experiences were something many Native Americans had to experience.

A courageous and wonderful follow-up to The Birchbark House! Can't wait to read more... I got the #audiobook from our library's new service #hoopla
