Mom's Review
What fond memories I have of summer visits with my grandmother and cousin! Grandma's Tipi recalled to mind those happy childhood experiences from cover to cover.
When Clara visits her grandmother, a special surprise awaits. With the help of Clara's uncle, the family sets up their tipi, which Clara and her cousin then spend much of the remaining visit in. They learn how to set up the tipi, they add their dreams to its walls, they ensconce themselves in the embrace of family around a storytelling campfire, and they listen to the rhythm of the raindrops while staying warm and dry.
Grandma's Tipi, while presenting a specific Lakota family, emphasizes the impact our families love and support have on us as well as the value of familial and cultural traditions. Here is an inter-generational story that prizes the contributions of elders and children alike.
