Sandra King (Ojibway)
One of the fine "We Are Still Here" series by Native American authors that sensitively reveals how cultural traditions are handed down form parent to child and blended into life in contemporary America.  Shannon lives in Minneapolis with her grandmother, sisters, and cousins and is a fancy shawl dancer. Kinaalda centers around Celinda as she undergoes the puberty ceremony among her people. Snippets of family conversation in each book lend an intimacy and familiarity not usually available to non-Indian readers, and Native children will recognize these girls as people they know. A bit of tribal history and culture relevant to the events described, excellent full-color photographs and maps, and up-to-date further reading lists make these titles essential purchases for school, public, and tribal libraries.  The foreword was written by Michael Dorris.  Grade 4-8

Richard G. Green (Mohawk)
Thirteen-year-old Darrin Captain is troubled by his mysterious dreams and his ability to see things before they actually happen. On his grandfather's advice, he visits Truman Cloud, a tribal elder who shares with Darrin the ancient Iroquois story of the hermit thrush. As Darrin struggles to understand what his visions mean, he also learns about protecting himself and getting along with others. Set in the present day on the Six Nations Reserve, this novel offers a glimpse of contemporary Kanienkehaka life through the eyes of a young teenager. The cultural setting will be largely unfamiliar to readers, but Darrin's story examines common teen concerns. Grades 6-9.

A contemporary Mohawk girl tries to solve the mystery of her missing parents while threatened by a terrible monster."The legend is chilling-and the terror builds on every page. This book gave me nightmares!' R.L. Stine

Geri Keams (Navajo)
Snail Girl is a hero who succeeds through quiet perseverance and humility. Written by a Navajo storyteller, the text of this picture book is a clear and careful example of storytelling set within a specific Native American culture. Ziehler-Martin uses a brilliant palette that is reminiscent of contemporary animated movies. While the animals are drawn clothed, it is evident that they do not represent humans. There is one point of disconnection between the text and artwork: Snail Girl is described as so exhausted that she cannot cry, yet the illustration shows tears streaming down a reflection of her face. Still, this is an excellent addition for collections looking for folktales that explore multicultural and ecological themes. -Loriene Roy. Kindergarten-Grade 3

Baje Whitethorne (Navajo)
Whitethorne, a Navajo artist making his children's book debut, presents a slice of rural Navajo life in this story-within-a-story. Grandfather Pipa calls Kii Leonard into the hogan to tell him that the sun "has died"; a solar eclipse has washed the surrounding mountains in and deep purples and reds. He explains to the boy that he must wait respectfully for the Na'ach'aahii, who come from the Four Directions carrying a paint brush and a can of paint, each responsible for replacing a different color of the rainbow. Repainting the world after the eclipse, the Na'ach'aahii restore life and allow the rebirth of the sun-processes pleasingly depicted in the Southwest-style art. While the text is repetitious and gawky, the theme is appealing, and the framing device affords readers of other cultures a rare opportunity to experience a Native American perspective. Ages 5-up.
