Liz Sonneborn is a full-time writer living in Brooklyn, New York. She is the author of more than 90 books for children and young adults. Her specialities include American history and biography.
While chapter headings, presented in the form of questions, vary from book to book, the same basic information is covered in each: lifestyles, food, clothing, religion and beliefs, sports and games, tribal history, and current realities. Text is presented in manageable paragraphs, and boxed inserts provide additional insights into notable people or topics. The books are visually appealing, with numerous captioned graphics. In addition to maps, illustrations, and charts, archival and contemporary photographs facilitate comparisons and contrasts. Each book also includes "Find Out More" resources: books, websites, DVDs, and places to visit such as museums, national parks, reservations, and festivals. Teachers will appreciate the standards-aligned coverage, as well as the general accessibility suitable for a variety of readers. Glossary. Timeline. Index.
