written by Traci Sorell illustrated by Madelyn Goodnight River is recovering from an unnamed illness and is too fatigued to dance in the Grand Entry for the intertribal dance on powwow day. Even though River watches the grandeur on the sidelines, dressed in her jingle dress, the love of her family and community give her hope that she will dance again in the future. A beautiful picture book celebrating the power of resilience and healing. |

by Cynthia Leitich Smith Based on Peter Pan but set 100 years later, Lily and Wendy are stepsisters and once were best friends. Now, they are not sure because their parents are separating. What will it mean for the two girls who have grown up together on the Muskogee Creek Nation, where Lily and her mom are enrolled members? The night before Wendy and her father return to London, England, a stranger comes to the window offering adventure. Wendy is all for it, but Lily is hesitant and suspicious. Wendy impulsively takes their little brother Michael and flies off into the sky with the stranger who turns out to be Peter Pan. However, Neverland is not the fun adventure Wendy was hoping for, not at all. Lily knows something is wrong and sets out to rescue her siblings. In Neverland, Lily finds a group of Native children who have been brought to the island against their will. Wendy quickly discovers just what kind of person Peter really is. Will Wendy and Lily be able to save Michael from the lost boys and will they all make it home from Neverland? Recommended for 4th-7th graders. |
