Kirsten and the Chippewa by Susan McAliley, Philip Hood, Janet Beeler Shaw

3.0

This review is from the perspective of a mother - Kirsten and the Chippewa centers on Kirsten's initial fear and prejudice of visiting Chippewa, along with her struggles with her temper. A good short story to read along with your little one, to address some of the larger issues that get swept aside by the adventure part of the story, but I do think there is more obvious character development in this story.

The Looking Back section also does a nice job detailing life of pioneers and Native Americans on the frontier, but the tensions of the two groups is a bit dumbed down and whitewashed for my taste.
