Encounter by Brittany Luby

5.0

The key to this book is going to be reading parts of the author's reflection and historical note in the back matter after sharing it with kids to add the depth and perspective of why it was written the way it was and the deeper message that is grounded in the colonizer history of North America. Gorgeously illustrated and beautifully told through animal/nature perspectives (fitting for a Native story), this book by two First Nations #ownvoices creators, is the type of addition we need to the books we have available to share during November or Indigenous People's (Columbus) Day or during those 5th grade explorers units.
