This historical picture book focuses on the courage, composure, and intelligence of Sacagawea as she assists the Lewis and Clark expedition navigate across North America to the Pacific Ocean. The book focuses on her skills and contributions, along with her transcendence beyond a traditional female role. She becomes a critical and integral part of their mission's success through her language skills of translation and interpretation, along with her navigational abilities. I did not like this book for two reasons. First, I did not like the flow of the text. The writing in this book is often choppy and simple. Many sentences lack descriptive words and depth. For example, “A few days later they came to a beautiful river. The grateful captain named it after Sacagawea.” This sentence, in particular, could have described the beauty of the river. Instead, it is choppy and boring. Another reason I did not like this book was because of questionable underlying sexism. This dislike is not necessarily the author’s point of view, but however, the historic time period’s point of view. This, unfortunately, crept its way into the text too much for my pleasure. To be a good biography, one must be historically correct, but to add passages such as “Cameahwait was moved, too. But the council had to continue. Though tears kept flooding back, Sacagawea kept her duty until the council ended.” This passage, to me, seems to say the it is fine for women to be overcome with emotion, but not men. The main idea of this book is that anyone can become an important part of history as long as they are willing to take risks. Sacagawea was kidnapped by her tribes enemy tribe at a young age. She was forced to marry and then sent on the Lewis and Clark expidition two months after giving birth to her first son. This brave woman crossed waterfalls and climbed mountians with her child on her back with no pay to lead the journey. Wonderful illustrations give the feel of the hardships this great woman faced during her travels. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
