Powwow day  Cover Image Book Book

Powwow day / Traci Sorell ; illustrated by Madelyn Goodnight.

Sorell, Traci, (author.). Goodnight, Madelyn, (illustrator.).

Summary:

Because she has been very ill and weak, River cannot join in the dancing at this year's tribal powwow, she can only watch from the sidelines as her sisters and cousins dance the celebration--but as the drum beats she finds the faith to believe that she will recover and dance again.

"Traci Sorell is the author of We Are Grateful: Otsaliheliga, which recieved an American Indian Youth Literature Award (AIYLA) honor, a Sibert honor award, an Orbis Pictus honor award, and a Boston Globe-Horn Book honor award. She also wrote We Are Still Here! Native American Truths Everyone Should Know; At the Mountain's Base; and Classified: The Secret Career of Mary Golda Ross, Cherokee Aerospace Engineer. She co-authored the AIYLA winner Indian No More. Traci writes for young people because of the lack of children's books featuring contemporary Native Americans. While Traci's tribe, the Cherokee Nation, has a different type of dance tradition, she enjoys watching the jingle dress and grass dancers when she attends powwows." -- Back fold.
