(3) K-3 Illustrated by Lisa Desimini. This picture book biography celebrates Betty Mae Jumper, in 1967 the first woman to be elected a Seminole tribal leader. Annino's information about Jumper's early years is sketchy, but facts about her later life, education, and service as a nurse, interpreter, and spokesperson flesh-out the portrait. Desimini's naive-style paintings highlight the traditional Seminole way of life and clothing.
