Genre: Multicultural/ nonfiction
Age Range: Upper elementary
Summary: This books tells about different foods and recipes that Native Americans use in their culture. They grow things like tomatoes, kill deer for meat, and gather nuts and berries for other foods. They believe that respecting nature and wasting nothing is very important to them and their environment. They also grow wild rice, corn, and hunt other meats such as bison. They are also very specific about how they store different foods.
Personal Response: I think that this book can give children insight on different cultures and the foods they eat, specifically Native Americans. It shows that not all people are like them, and there are totally different worlds out there that they have not experienced yet.
