Authors/Illustrators Signed Books New Books Upcoming Events ... Home Rebecca Disrud, literacy programs coordinator for the Golden Eagles program in the Minneapolis American Indian Center, has compiled a list of ten great Native American books for kids and young adults. When selecting books to share with children of all backgrounds, it is vital to preview selections with a critical eye. Many seemingly warm-hearted books perpetuate subtle racial stereotypes or dominant-culture perspectives on history. If you have doubts about the appropriateness of a book, consult the invaluable reference guide Through Indian Eyes: The Native Experience in Books for Children , edited by Beverly Slapin and Doris Seale (American Indian Studies Center), or the website www.oyate.org . Not surprisingly, many of the best Native American kids books are written by Native American authors. The following books are recommended for use with both Native and non-Native children. In this beautiful picture book about a modern Native family, a mysterious nest of rare, newly-hatched birds appears in the bedroom of quirky, departed grandmother. When the species of the birds is revealed, the family must try to reconcile the fate of the birds with what grandmother would have wanted. While the vivid pictures of Grandmother's Pigeon will appeal to young children, older kids will also enjoy the subtly complex story.

Web Site Awards This website is a means of sharing ideas and information with all those interested in literature for children and young adults. "Women's history is the primary tool of women's emancipation." - Gerda Lerner There has been an increase in more lengthy and more theoretically based critical analyses of works for children and young people, but too often this work is assumed to be esoteric, isolated from and unrelated to either children or the teaching of children's literature. Many who teach children's literature dismiss this work as being that of those who have little sense of the child for whom the literature was created and even less for the practical problems of bringing that child and the literature together. On the other hand, there has been a proliferation of books about children's literature that describe both literary works and activities with these books but have little relation to theory, research, or even the practical problem's of one's own teaching.

Literature for Children and Young Adults E XAMINING ISSUES OF VIOLENCE AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION by Alita Zurav Letwin This annotated bibliography is designed to tap the rich resource of children’s literature to stimulate discussion of violence and of alternative, peaceful ways to resolve conflict. Its focus is on books appropriate for upper elementary and middle school students, though a number of books can be used in the early elementary grades as well. These books are chosen with a number of criteria in mind. The most important is that issues of violent and nonviolent conflict resolution are clearly presented so that students can examine the following general questions: What is conflict? What is violence? What are some causes of violence? What are some consequences of violence? What alternatives to violence can be used when conflicts need to be settled? How can we prevent violence? Literature is particularly helpful in discussing such issues, not only by describing conflicts, but also by indicating why the conflict occurred and what followed in its aftermath.  A novel or short story might show the anger that led to violence, and the fear, unhappiness, hurt, and despair that violence can leave in its wake. Because literature is often dramatic, it can strike an emotional chord that holds student interest while it broadens perspective and heightens awareness of one’s own and other’s feelings and beliefs. Using literature for this purpose can, in turn, awaken an interest in literature itself.  Therefore the second criterion used in choosing these books is that they model the qualities of “good” literature: the author should use language beautifully, develop sensitive, believable characterizations and use involving, well-crafted plots.  There are many books that are written for young people that raise the issues of this bibliography; there are few that have literary value as well.  Not all the books included here achieve the same literary heights, but none are mediocre.
