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.

The Four Hills of Life; Ojibwe Wisdom
In this book (that can be shared with children of all ages), Thomas Peacock tells the Ojibwe story about the path all people walk in their life as they move through childhood, adolescence, adulthood and old age. This can be used as a classroom resource as there are activities at the end of each chapter. The illustrations, including photos and artwork are coordinated by Marlene Wisuri and the book as a whole is a wonderful package.
