Book SynopsisTrade Review***STARRED REVIEW*** "Representations of contemporary Native American life are sorely needed on children’s literature shelves, and this extended picture book lovingly chronicles daily life on the reservation as it follows one family’s summer of activities, all centered around the sacred cultural space of a tipi." * Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books *
“Nelson’s vibrant illustrations are stylized to reflect Lakota ledger drawings. He effortlessly blends this art style into his realistic, authentic depictions of modern Lakota life.” * The Horn Book Magazine *
Nelson (Standing Rock Sioux) depicts his people’s customs with reverence…When Clara’s time on the Standing Rock Reservation comes to an end, the rich lessons of her heritage stay with her—just as they will with young readers, who will be drawn in by both Nelson’s moving narration and glowing images. * Kirkus *
This recent creation from acclaimed and prolific author/illustrator Nelson will make for an entertaining and informative read-aloud. * Booklist *
