Even for someone who hasn’t read any American Girl books, Welcome to Kirsten’s World, 1854 is a fun glimpse into a different time. It includes such topics as arriving on the frontier from the East or another country, building and working on the homestead, social activities and courtship, life as a Dakota, toys and clothing, other immigrants on the frontier, and conflict between the Dakota and the settlers. There are plenty of visuals, each accompanied by a brief caption or explanation that invites the reader to imagine life in 1854 Minnesota. I especially enjoyed the sections about what immigrants might have brought from their homelands and how pioneers and Dakota lived from season to season. ( ) I read this slowly over a few weeks and I enjoyed it! I liked learning about some of the real history that inspired stories like Kirsten's and even Laura Ingalls Wilder's books. It wasn't a page turner but it was was packed with information and I wasn't bored even though this was written for a much younger reading level. I am planning to read all of the American Girl books in chronological order and I think I will also be reading each of their "Welcome to..." books as well. The story tracks Kirsten's family's journey from Sweeden to the New World using primary source documents like photographs, newspaper articles, letters, and artifacts. Gathered together like a museum exhibit, the information is layered so that readers of different ages and interest levels can engage in Kirsten's life on the prairie, where she lives in a sod dugout and interacts with the local Native Americans and settlers from all over the world. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
