It was right on target with our Native American Unit and the students were very interested and engaged. It gave them more insight as to what life was actually like then .... especially as Uleyli is a child around their age." <strong>Kerri Stolz, Fifth Grade Teacher, Celebration K-8, Celebration, Florida</strong></p><p>"This was a real treat-an exciting story with a powerful message, what's not to love? It's always a pleasure to read a children's book with a female main character who uses her brain to solve her problems (Uleyli's passion for art is really inspiring). Plus, the Native American history in the book was all new to me and very interesting. This would be a great gift for kids-or adults, honestly-who love art, adventure, or history." <strong>-Amanda Lee, Toronto, Ontario</strong></p><br>
