Red Bird Sings: The Story of Zitkala-Ša, Native American Author, Musician, and Activist
(3)
4-6
Illustrated by
Gina Capaldi.
This picture book adaptation of three of Zitkala-Ša's semiautobiographical stories (published in the early 1900s) begins with the Native American girl's 1884 enrollment in a Quaker-run boarding school. Music, along with oratory skills, rekindled her ancestral spirit and prompted a life devoted to Native American rights. Sheet music, maps, and photographs are thoughtfully incorporated into the acrylic illustrations in this emotion-stirring biography. Reading list, websites. Bib.
