pickFourth in the series but the second I've read, Chickadee gives me a similar warm feeling that Birchbark House does. The family connections are so strong and true through even hardship, distance, and disagreement, that it's a joy to read about them. I also relate so well to the father's trepidation then elation at realizing that the lessons he and his wife have taught their children have prepared their son to care for himself.
I love this definition of a woman "ready for anything":
"She had a small sack of flour, her rifle, ammunition, her bow, a quiver of arrows, her skinning knife, her carving knife, her tobacco knife, her whittling knife, and two extra emergency knives she kept hidden in her leggings."
pickOmakayas is grown and has her own children. I love this family so much that they seem real to me. Even though you are small does not mean you are not powerful. #SeriesRead2021 @TheSpineView
In celebration of #NationalBirdDay, I'm throwing it back to this past fall when a friendly, book-loving chickadee decided to hang out with me. Honestly, it was the best part of that weekend, and resulted in me joining my local Audubon Society! #JumpIntoJanuary

Everyone has someone who is attached at their hip whether it‘s a twin or best friend. I love how the book values friendship and family.
pickThis book represents the history of family and the love family brings. Twin brothers, Chickadee and Makoons, become separated. New experiences are brought forth with moments that can be unbearable as well as happiness. I like how the book is about family and the fight to bring family back to a whole no matter outcome.
