Children of the Wind and Water

Children of the Wind and Water is an excellent book that helps to teach today's children about Native American Children of long ago. James Watling's illustrations are very nice. They are water-colorey (soft and fuzzy), which adds to the realism of the stories. Each story focuses on a child in a particular tribe and the chores and trials that face that child as he or she is trained to become a productive member of the tribe. This and it's companion book, "Children of the Earth and Sky" are excellent read alouds to grades 2-4, especially during Native American studies time.
