K-3On My Own History series.
Illustrated by
Shelly O. Haas.
A fluent text retells the story of Nebraska heroine Minnie Freeman, who led the students of her one-room schoolhouse to safety during the deadly snowstorm of January 12, 1888. An excellent companion to Carla Stevens and Margot Tomes's Anna, Grandpa, and the Big Storm as well as a read-it-yourself step toward Wilder's more harrowing The Long Winter.
