"Kaya's
Hero, A Story of Giving", a Native American Girl Growing
up in 1764 in Early America
 "Kaya
is in awe of a young warrior woman named Swan Circling, who's
so fearless, she doesn't even flinch when a runaway horse gallops
straight at her! Swan Circling goes with the men into battle,
bringing them fresh horses and tending to the wounded. If I were
as strong as Swan Circling, Kaya thinks, I'd find a way to get
my sister back. Swan Circling has heard the children calling
Kaya "Magpie," the nickname she got for being irresponsible.
Although Kaya has made mistakes, she wants very badly to be friends
with Swan Circling. Will Swan Circling want to be friends with
her?"
"Kaya's Hero, A Story
of Giving" is the third 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, 73 pages including the glossary.)
