Book Description: Published in association with The Art Institute of Chicago Explore the world of a Native American mound city more than 600 years ago. Based on new research and archival images, and in the same format as Abrams' critically acclaimed picture book biographies such as The Yellow House, this book relates the coming of age tale of a young Native American named Little Hawk. With his family and others from their tribe, Little Hawk is chosen to make a trading journey form his small village to the great mound city of Cahokia (800 1400 CE), in the midwestern United States. In captivating illustrations, including a map of the journey and photographs that depict a range of period artifacts, Al Lorenz presents a historically accurate look at a people and a time that flourished well before the first Europeans arrived.
