Thanks to the generosity and kindness of my brilliant friend Leanne, I was able to get a copy of Native American Heroes by Dawn Quigley. (Because Scholastic book orders.) As the book copy says, “Meet 18 Native American leaders from yesterday and today! (Emphasis on today, on contemporary Native people, artists and activists and writers and athletes and politicians and more..) “From activist Charlene Teters to astronaut John Herrington to Paralympian Cheri Madsen, these real-life heroes inspire us to learn about Native American history, language, & culture.” This slim book is accessible, informative, illuminating, inspiring, sure to spark conversations & propel readers to want to know more, to read more about these incredible role models. I know I'm going to seek out more information about the heroes discussed in this book. Real talk for libraries - I WISH this book was available in Baker and Taylor, Ingram, Follett, even Amazon. I know we’d all buy this exceptional book for our classrooms and libraries. And many cannot buy books outside of their distributors - so it’s also essential that companies make books like Native American Heroes available. I hope Scholastic can make this happen! Our young people need this book! It’s SO good!
