This book is great for the classroom...especially if you're doing a unit on American Indians. It is totally culturally competent in that the characters in it are real, modern, and diverse. I would recommend this for anyone with children! My four year old daughter loves it. Also check out Rain Is Not My Indian Name, also by this author...a great story for older kids.

This was a great book that I had forgotten I had read...I love the "explore" feature on here! I was taking a "Teaching Diverse Populations" course and had to create a booklist and I loved the story and thought a so many connections to ALL children's lives.

Great book for the classroom!
