Mary and the Trail of Tears: A Cherokee Removal Survival Story by Andrea L. Rogers

5.0

At just 100 pages, this illustrated chapter book is a great (fictional) primer on the Cherokee Removal. I really appreciate kids books that don't shy away from the truth, even when it's violent and devistating. Roger's does a great job of mixing elements of hardship and death with hope and resilience.

I am so grateful for this book and the author's work to make history about Indigenous peoples' accessible and accurate for kids (and me!).
