NATIVE AMERICAN PRINCESS JOINS AWARD-WINNING SERIES From its launch in 2010, The Thinking Girls Treasury of Real Princesses has provided a welcome alternative view of princess power, winning accolades and the gratitude of beleaguered moms along the way. The real women highlighted in this series are more than just pretty and pink. Across the world and throughout history, they overcame great barriers to change their own lives and make their mark. No wonder several volumes were listed by the Amelia Bloomer Project as Recommended Feminist Books for Youth! Now, by popular demand, a Native American princess joins the ranks of this IPPY Awardwinning series. One minute Sacajawea of the Shoshone was picking berries. The next her tribe was under attack. Running for her life, Sacajawea was scooped up and taken far away from her village and familyand into history. From her mountain home to the banks of the Missouri River, over the majestic Rockies to the pounding waves of the Pacific, Sacajawea would travel farther than any American woman of her time. Richly illustrated and smartly narrated, this book brings to life the story of the real and remarkable Shoshone princess who helped Captains Lewis and Clark navigate their way across the American West.
