Ah! Osceola! Hmm....quite impressive. Interesting story! As a Filipina-American, I know how important it is to define your cultural background...how our stories of struggles & successes help shape not only us but those we share it with...how so little can shape someone to have a strong mind! With the author & Ms. Mays both currently residing in Dallas, it makes me like the book even more. The illustrations are such Shane's style. Definitely Shane's style! The vibrant colors & unique style speak the hidden words of years past yet help you imagine you being in that exact spot done with the elegance of the proper era. I say, a book done with honors.....good job! Being based on a true story with some history behind it, it makes me enjoy this children's book even more without even seeing it as a children's book but more of a historical documentary. I like that! 2 thumbs up & a standing ovation! Osceola....wouldn't it be interesting to run into her or the author sometime in Big-D?
