School Librarian Gives HIGH Reviews

As an elementary school librarian I'm always looking for GREAT READ ALOUDS for our students. Linda Boyden's Powwow's Coming was a SMASHING HIT with the children. Warm, accurate, richly done in collage, and a great opener to a Q & A session about traditions, as well as, Native American celebrations. I highly recommend this book in an elementary (K-4) setting.

A wonderful read-aloud book ideal for introducing young people to Native American culture.

Former elementary school teacher Linda Boyden presents Powwow's Coming, a picturebook that teaches young people about the Native American custom of the powwow dance. The colorful, paper-collage style illustrations and simple, rhyming text reflect the joy and enthusiasm inherent in a powwow celebration. "Powwows started / long ago, / but dances change, / powwows grow. // Still today the / steps and songs / bless the dancers, / make them strong." A wonderful read-aloud book ideal for introducing young people to Native American culture.
