What struck me when I read the list of Bruchac titles was how many titles there were!
I love the tone of A Boy Called Slow especially. It is such an easy book to read to children. The words are crafted by a true storyteller and help me, the simple reader, feel like a storyteller as well. When Slow's true identity is revealed to be the great Lakota warrior, Sitting Bull, the children are always surprised and pleased.
My second grade children love thinking and writing about the names they might called if they hailed from a culture which named people for their talents.
