An Algonquian Year: The Year According to the Full Moon

(3) K-3 Naming the months according to Algonquian custom (Hard Times Moon, Snow Blinder Moon, Sap Moon), this book describes the yearly cycle for tribes in what would later become New England and southern Canada. The book focuses on food sources rather than cultural events or other yearly milestones, and the black-and-white scratchboard illustrations are stark and lovely.
