Currently, the book world is beyond blessed by more and more picture books being published by authors Indigenous to North America. Some titles fight fiercely to correct commonly accepted lies told in social studies class. Others share insight into beautiful traditions and communities. And then there are the ones that are simply lovely stories that are told from a perspective that is needed. All in all, more insightful, gorgeous, and truth-telling stories are being released into libraries and bookstores every year. Seeing as our understanding of history is often rooted in the impressions we get from movies, TV, and books, this gift from Native American authors is so important. Below I have eight titles that you won’t want to miss. Looking for more books by Native American authors?
