The Drum Calls Softly

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jim Poitras. In this story, Cree dancers come together to participate in the round dance. While the art makes good use of color, the text (printed in English and Cree) lacks a cohesive thread and the narrator is not distinctive enough. However, those studying Native language or music will appreciate the included bilingual CD of the story accompanied by Northern Cree, a pow-wow group.
