I think when Mrs.Gill came she really inspired me in reading. Since Harry Potter #4 was the longest book I read.I tried to get all Shelley Gill books.But,I could only get one.So I got Tongass. I chose it because of its beautiful illustrations.

A great book on the Pacific Northwest

Shelley Gill is an expert on the Pacific Northwest coast (she lives in Alaska.) This book combines a fictional story about a young Tinglit girl in contemorary times with non-fiction information about the Pacific Northwest region and Indian traditions. As a 3rd grade teacher who teaches a 9 week unit on the Native Americans, I thought it was a great resource. The pictures were also very well done and interesting. Besides providing information about Native Americans of the Northwest region, the book also carries a strong environmental message. My students enjoyed it, and so did I.
