My current audiobook. This is the recent winner of the 2024 Cundill History Prize. The language is a little overkill in lifting up the native image and condemning the European one. But the info has been good.

“We are grateful for the stories passed down to us, for the songs that tell us who we are”

I would use this book in my class for discussing different cultures

I enjoyed this book and thought it talked about important topics. I liked how it included Cherokee words

This book serves as a great symbol of what different families and cultures are made of! The illustrations are great. It is a burning story about food, love, culture, and family!

“The star people are always with you. Look up, and you will see me among the stars.”

This book would be an amazing addition to classroom library. I believe that it would be an excellent book to help students learn about different cultures and the different histories that are still present in America.

I really enjoyed this book and think it‘d be a great addition to a classroom library. I really enjoy the illustration in this book and they were quite impactful. The story also is very meaningful.

Historical fiction

“The boy became the arrow.”

I use this book in my classroom to talk about diversity and different cultures. However, I don‘t know if I would use this book specifically because it‘s not written by somebody from that culture.
