The Schoolchildren's Blizzard

(2) K-3 On 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.
