Moonsong Lullaby

CutlrBibliography: Highwater, J. (1981). Moonsong Lullaby. Illus Marcia Keegan. New York, NY: Lothrop Lee & Shepard Books.
Brief Annotation: Moonsong Lullaby is about the Native American culture and the beauty of nature which is what they value the most. They cherish the animals, and their shelters, campfires, the sky and the trees, and the clouds. The moon sings of the thankfulness for all these wonderful resources for the Native Americans.
Genre: Culturally Diverse
Grade Level: 2nd-3rd
Readers who will like this: Anyone who wants to learn more about the Native American culture and the things that they value. It would be a great reference for a project reflecting two or more different cultures.
Response/Rating: I would give this book a 2 because I liked the photographs and the lullaby was very warm and informative, though I don't have much interest for reading books on Native American culture.
Question to ask before a read aloud: Are there resources that are important to your culture? Anything special to your family or special traditions that keep your family together?
