Comments

Smiley Caper: I’ve used this book for many years with students spanning from junior high to adulthood. The book is beautifully written and has wonderful illustrations. It is an excellent opener for discussing a myriad of topics.

A must for any bookshelf or teacher library.

Nicolas Gonzalez: great book for kids to learn about the true Christopher Columbus.

Annonymous: This is NOT a non-fiction book. Having said that, it was refreshing to hear the story of Columbus's first encounter with the "New World" from a different point of view and sparked age-appropriate conversations with my young reader. I would highly recommend adding this to your library.

Amazon Customer: I bought this book to read with my 1st grader for Indigenous People's Day. It sparked a lot of really great conversations. The illustrations are beautiful and it provides a much needed perspective in a way that is easily understood by even young kids. We are thrilled to have this in our home library.

James Rhodes: I have long since given away this work but I did read it an was impressed by it. My only "complaint" would be it does not condemn exploitive, slave mongering, family disruptive "religions" to the degree I feel would have been justified and appropriate. It does, I think, make us consider the effects slavery has on the family unit and how colonialism and perversion of "religion" may be a "bad thing." From the point of being 'non-threatening' and informative-great work.

Sherry: Excellent book for teaching inferencing and grade 5 social studies.

Yepyepyep: I love the way Jane Yolen tackles tough topics in such an accessible way for young readers. It's a great book to help young people think through what has, what can, what could, and what should happen when cultures collide.

When I taught Social Studies this was my go to book for discussions about some of the sad, somber outcomes of European exploration and greed. You can even draw connections between this story and other groups that are being currently displaced or disadvantaged by other groups' progress.

Also the book contains a great deal of figurative language. When I used it for ELA, I would read a portion.It's a very long book to read in one sitting. And then later or the next day I would pick out sentences/phrases from the text and have students identify the type of figurative language.

There are also several moments that require readers' to make inferences

This is a strong mentor text, on so many levels.
