Even though, most of the information in this book was familiar to me (I read Indian No More which is also by Traci Sorell), this will be a good book for classrooms, educators and caregivers to use as an introduction of the history of Native Americans.

Agree with other reviewers that this is not a readaloud for younger grades; I had it on my Sibert long list but I think the 2nd graders' eyes will glaze over.
