A powerful story written in poetry form of a Native Boy that believes there are others out there. The tribes is only worried about the day to day needs, but the boy has a friend in the Old Man. The two dream together and find what they are looking for. The book is a strong message to those growing up. Beautiful watercolor illustrations. ( )

This book reads like poetry to me, but in an easy for children to understand kind of way. It about one boys wonderment on if there are other people out there that aren't like him. You go on a journey of discovery through the eyes of a child. I think all kids have this wonder and could relate to this book even no days with all this technology. I believe this book would incite conversation and learning begins with a question. ( )

Personal Response: I remember wondering about other people in the world as a child. I enjoyed the illustrations, but I found the rhyming to be overdone.
Curricular Connection: A third or fourth grade class could discuss what it feels like to meet new people. Should we be afraid of strangers, or welcoming? Children could invent their own stories about a group of people they've never met, living on the other side of the world. What might be different? What might be the same? Reading this book could open a discussion about diversity. ( )

Reads like poetry. A boy in a primative tribe wonders if there are others tribes somewhere else like his. The elders can't understand why he wonder about such things. This is good book to read aloud to 2nd grade and above tho develop critical thinking skills.
