Wow. I am confused by the high rating of this book. While this book starts out fine, it soon becomes terrible as the descriptions of native Americans (both pictures and words) show the racism and ignorance of the authors. We had a conversation about the negative depiction of Indigenous People, which is always valuable, but I would rather have read a different book where we could have talked about the history of the people instead.
