"Changes
for Kaya, A Story of Courage" about a Native American Girl Growing up in 1764
in Early America
 "Speaking Rain has returned to Kaya's family,
but Kaya still as one last fear -- that she'll never see her
beloved horse, Steps High, again. When Kaya hears of a herd of
Nimiipuu horses running wild in the mountains, she hopes Steps
High is one of them. Kaya soon has a chance to find out for herself
when she joins the elk-hunting party traveling into the mountains.
Kaya is filled with excitement and hope, but Speaking Rain is
troubled by the smoke she smells on the wind -- smoke from mountain
fires. As Kaya searches for her beautiful horse, she has to face
a fear greater than any she's ever known."
"Changes for Kaya, A Story of Courage"
is the sixth story in the newest American Girls books. This series
of beautifully illustrated books is about growing up as a Nez
Perce girl - before America became a country. This will be especially
of interest to people in the Pacific Northwest who are familiar
with this country along the Columbia River. Some may even remember
Celilo falls before the great dams on the river. At the back
of the book is a "A
Peek into the Past" that includes
photos, drawings, and sketches about people, places and things
during this time. Recommended for Ages 7 and up.
(Softcover book, 8.5
x 6 inches, 70 pages including the glossary.)
