I am reading along with the American Girl’s Podcast and was really excited to get to Kaya. I did have her doll when I was growing up. I feel that this book smashes so much into 70 pages that it doesn’t successfully introduce much. We brush past a lot of Nez Perce culture without really explaining or understanding what is happening. I do enjoy headstrong Kaya’s character and will look forward to learning more about her journey and hopefully her culture.

I never know if I should put kids books in her, but I read it! So it counts

My daughter and I have been listening to this series on audible for her bedtime. She loved these stories, and to be honest I did to. They were well written and taught great lessons.

I had a Kaya American Girl doll when I was a kid and decided to revisit the books. This was actually a lot more respectful towards the Nimiipuu people than I expected it to be since it was written in 2002. Very sweet story and definitely a good one for little girls to read.

I read this whole series to my kids. I found it interesting, but for some reason this series had a harder time holding my kids' attention, which surprised me because they have really enjoyed the other american girl series we have read in the past. (Molly and Felicity)
