[CALIBK12] Choctaw Nation - Children's Books

[Debbie Reese]

Good morning,

The Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma publishes several picture
books and a couple of YA novels about Choctaws. I've linked
to their site today (March 23rd, 2008) at my website,
http://americanindiansinchildrensliterature.blogspot.com.

Also way cool...  Free acetate overlays to turn Richard Van Camp's
books into Braille books. See my post on Saturday, March 15.

Other items I've added include:

Letter to "American MOM"
--A response to a comment from a reader

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008
McDermott made up the "Dance of Life" in ARROW TO
THE SUN
--I've finally found the answer to a question I've had for
many years regarding a dance in McDermott's Caldecott
winner

--Link to an audio interview of Joseph Bruchac, at
the site of the Learning First Alliance.

Please share this email with others who work with children
and books.

Sincerely,
Debbie
