Crazy Horse's Vision (Live Oak Media Ereadalong Ser.)
by Joseph BruchacThe true story of the great Sioux warrior who, as a young boy, defies tradition and seeks a vision on his own in hopes of saving his people.Crazy Horse is among the best known Native American heroes. Yet many people do not know his boyhood name was Curly, inspired by his curly hair. Curly was a leader even as a young boy, taming wild horses and hunting powerful buffalo. But all his bravery could not prepare him for the trouble he and the other Lakota Indians would face with the white settlers. Wanting to help his people after a fierce battle that mortally wounded Chief Conquering Bear, Curly defied traditional custom and risked his own life by running away, up to the hills, to seek a vision. Renowned Abenaki author Joseph Bruchac tells a gripping and compelling story of how the dedicated young boy, Curly, grows into the brave warrior Crazy Horse. Sioux artist S.D. Nelson, with paintings inspired by the ledger book style of the Plains Indians, evokes the drama and tragedy of an important figure in American history.
Crazy Horse: The Wild West for Kids (Legends Of The Wild West Ser.)
by Jon SterngassThe true life of Crazy Horse is plagued with questions. He did not leave any letters or diaries nor are there any records of speeches he made. Most notably, it is still unclear whether his death was an accident or a murder. Nevertheless, Crazy Horse is considered a gripping symbol of freedom, dignity, and the American West. He was the unfathomable leader for the Lakota tribe and was looked upon for protection by his people. But as whites invaded the Lakota lands and the buffalo herds shrank, many Lakota were forced to relocate to reservations. But not all, for Crazy Horse was determined to fight for his home. Rejecting the reservation system and negotiations with the white invaders, he guided the Lakota in two of the most monumental defeats ever suffered by the US Army: the Fetterman Fight in 1866, and the Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876, which was fought against the infamous General George Armstrong Custer. Over twenty illustrations and photographs help kids better understand this crucial figure and pivotal moment in nineteenth-century American history. Crazy Horse, part of the Wild West for Kids series, is a must-read for any young historian hoping to learn about a mysterious man who played an influential role in the Native American battles in the West.

Creating a Safe Space in Sports: Preventing Abuse and Taking Care of Our Bodies—and Our Teammates (Emotional Education for Elementary Schoolers)
by Dagmar GeislerFrom award-winning author Dagmar Geisler, in collaboration with illustrator Nikolai Renger, a brand-new series for elementary school students about social-emotional learning and physical and mental health. Nora loves gymnastics, but she&’s not so sure how she feels about her new coach, Sven. There&’s something strange about him. She doesn&’t like when he tries to help her. She wants to talk to her teammates or someone else about it, but she&’s afraid no one will like her anymore if she does. Physical and sexual abuse of children largely takes place in their immediate environments—sports clubs and gyms included. This book sensitively provides a child-friendly explanation of what abuse may look like in this environment, as well as instructions for children to help them respond to this behavior if it happens to them. In addition to exploring sexual abuse and violence so that children may recognize the signs if it happens to them or even another teammate, this book also tackles other hard-hitting and difficult topics when it comes to kids in sports, including: Pushing their bodies beyond their limits Playing through injuries instead of taking much-needed breaks Committing to sports and teams to impress parents and coaches when their heart isn&’t in it anymore As professional athlete Alexandra Ndolo writes in the afterword, "This book encourages children to pay attention to their feelings and to verbalize them, even in the context of sports. It sensitizes parents and caregivers to pay attention to the warning signs and to take statements seriously and to intervene if they suspect something."Creating a Safe Space in Sports is a strong conversation-starter for adults and children and is also a practical guide.

Creature Features: Twenty-Five Animals Explain Why They Look the Way They Do
by Steve Jenkins Robin PageDear axolotl: Why do you have feathers growing out of your head? Axolotl: They aren't feathers—they're gills! They let me breathe underwater. Let's face it. Even as babies, we humans pay close attention to faces. Observing another person's features and expressions tells us whether they are happy, angry, excited, or sad. And when we look at an animal, it's hard not to imagine that its face is communicating human feelings. This isn't true, of course. Squinty eyes, an upturned mouth, or another odd expression is probably there because, in some way, it helps that animal survive. Packed with many cool facts and visuals on where certain animals live and what they eat, this book captures twenty-five humorous—and very true—explanations of why animals look the way they do in order to exist in this world.
