“Four kids in T-shirts and jeans jam on a powwow stage. They’re grinning, bouncing, fully engaged with their music, each other, and the relaxed crowd. I’m splitting fry bread with a cousin as we cheer on the band, and across the tent, a young girl reading a paperback catches my eye. In that moment, I wish for more characters like those kids in the pages of children’s books. This anthology is a fulfillment of that wish.” Middle GradeMiddle SchoolAnthologyChildrens BooksIndigenous PeoplesChildrens LiteratureNative American LiteratureIndigenous LiteraturePowwow Book:Ancestor Approved: Intertribal Stories for Kids Source: Ancestor Approved: Intertribal Stories for Kids
“Then the stars turned their attention to the younger children of the family. The ones who hadn’t grown up yet. The stars knew what was coming, who was lurking. They always did. They’d seen it all before, countless times, across vast, green oceans and ethereal night skies. They recognized the tiny, sparkling glow, nearly hidden in the wise old oak tree sprawling above the Roberts-Darlings’ backyard. They recognized the crouched, shadowy figures within its branches. The stars weren’t the only spectators closely observing Lily, Wendy, and Michael.” Childrens BooksPeter PanChildren S LiteratureMiddle Grade FantasyChildrens Books QuotesStepfamilyMiddle Grade VoiceStepsistersMiddle Grade Fiction Book:Sisters of the Neversea Source: Sisters of the Neversea
