Brief reviews and thoughts about children's and young adult books by Minnesota authors (or illustrators), or about Minnesota. If I get the urge, it may also include ideas for using the books in the classroom. The emphasis is on books published since 1995, but don't be surprised if an oldie-but-goodie slips in occasionally.

Our Journey
This is a board book that portrays two young Ojibwe children who live a traditional life. The simple text introduces the Ojibwe words "anin" (hello) and "miigwech" (thanks) to the east, west, north, south, sun, earth, and "the one who gave me my birth". Written by Lyz Jaakola, illustrated by Karen Savage-Blue, it was published by the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa in 2001.
