Children of Native America Today
Children of Native America Today, written by distinguished authors Arlene Hirschfelder and Yvonne Wakim Dennis, celebrates the rich diversity of Native lands, cultures, and people.
Beautiful photographs show Native children living in all sorts of places—from the Florida Everglades to the Iowa plains to the Alaskan islands. They speak many languages and participate in different cultural and athletic activities, like Indian stickball and traditional dancing. They also ride bikes, play video games, go to school, and hang out with friends.
Children of Native America Today combats stereotypes and informs readers about the original inhabitants of the United States and their continuing contributions.
According to the School Library Journal, "this special book belongs in all libraries."
Winner of the Notable Books for a Global Society award and selected for the CCBC Choices 2004 list.
