Of all the presents I received from my dad on Christmas, this was the one I was most excited about. It is a children‘s book that tells the life story of Sitting Bull. My dad was so upset that he accidentally bought me a children‘s book, but this was the perfect way to peak my interest into a new reading subject. The book is stunning, with photographs and drawings covering each page. And it was written in a wonderfully beautiful and engaging way.

1) We moved house in April 2022, but last big move was Dec 31, 2017 to Jan 8, 2018, when we did a corner-to-corner road trip to move from Massachusetts to SoCal. I'm feeling the itch to move again (hoping for Europe this time), but my son wants to graduate high school first.
2) There's a military kid in the tagged, which as a former military kid myself, I really appreciate.

TheSpineView Always wanted to live in Europe. Hope you get to. Thanks for playing 4w
ImperfectCJ @TheSpineView Thanks for hosting! I'm currently at my 28th address and have lived in all four time zones in the US, so I think it's about time to branch out to another continent (or at least another country...I liked Quebec when I visited, and it would be a lot closer to our family on the East Coast). 4w
ImperfectCJ *The contiguous US, that is. I've not lived in Alaska, Hawaii or Guam, so I'm missing those three. 4w
TheSpineView @ImperfectCJ Hope you make all thise destinations 4w

This is a bail for me. I just wasn‘t connecting with it this time around, but I will probably give it another chance eventually. Erdrich‘s writing is generally quite good. Under normal circumstances, I think I would have enjoyed this. Perhaps because this is a prequel and I haven‘t read Love Medicine, or perhaps because of the magical realism elements which made me feel a bit distant from the characters, I just wasn‘t feeling it.

“ Perhaps you are my sun,” the lord replied, perhaps you are hot. You must prove yourself. You must pass through the 4 chambers of ceremony— the Kiva of lions, the Kiva of serpents, the Kiva of the bees, and the Kiva of lightning.”

The boy was not afraid. “Father,” he said, “ I will endure these trials.”

Children can use this story understand how other cultures view the world. I love how traditional literature doesn‘t always come out and say what the moral of the story is instead, it takes you on a journey that helps you realize what it means to you.

I really like how this book really uses traditional Pueblo art to tell this traditional story. The journey this character goes on in the story is one that shows determination and the courage to prove yourself. I believe that this story can pique children‘s interest in learning about other cultures.

Been working through these the past couple months between books or whenever I only have a few minutes here and there. Not going to have them finished before they need to be returned to the library (probably gonna buy my own copies) but I did want to point out how wonderful they are.

Hirsch adds new life to old standards with helpful insights and analyses. Harjo‘s book, with its focus on Native poetry, is sublime and should be read by everyone.

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm I‘m not typically a poetry reader despite my various attempts to enjoy the genre. But this has me very intrigued. Stacked! 3mo
BC_Dittemore @MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm awesome! Hope you like it! 3mo
