I think that this is a great book to use in the classroom because the author used great words to retell what happened on the “trail of tears“. The illustrations are also beautiful.
“Tension filled the circle. The words had been effective. The silence stretched out.“
“I ran and ran until I had no breath left.“
This was a very interesting book. I didn't know this story before I read it. I'm not sure young children would understand it or know what the story is telling, but it is a great book to read for a little Indian history lesson. I would read this to older elementary kids. Second and up maybe.
pickThis is a historical fiction book about a group of native Indians who were forced to relocate by white men. The story in this book is told by a great-grandmother to her great-grandson. Since the story is passed down by many generations, some of the things told might not be 100% true.
