Steph Coccia- Historical Fiction

Sitting Bull Remembers
By: Ann Turner
Paintings by: Wendell Minor
Summary: in this story Sitting Bull remembers his life before everything has happened. The white men came into his territory, and want make changes; like put in a railroad. The Sioux Tribe ( Sitting Bull’s Tribe) gets angry and revolts against the white men that are going to attack the tribe. Finally, we see Siting Bull captured remembering his life.
Rating/ Evaluation: this is a great book to do with a history lesson regarding the events that occurred at between the whites and the Native Americans. The pictures portray the events that has happened, and in a sense the Native American culture. One last thing that I like about this book, it that it is like sitting Bull is telling us the story himself. The reader may experience a sense of connection.
