Linda Boyden

Former elementary school teacher Linda Boyden presents Powwow’s Coming, a picture book that teaches young people about the Native American custom of the powwow dance. The colorful, paper-collage style illustrations and simple, rhyming text reflect the joy and enthusiasm inherent in a powwow celebration. “Powwows started / long ago, / but dances change, / powwows grow. // Still today the / steps and songs / bless the dancers, / make them strong.” A wonderful read-aloud book. — Midwest Book Review
