Morning Girl is a tale based off entries from Christopher Columbus's diary. It talks about a native family living in a vibrant community striving to coexist with the natural world, not to dominate it. The story stresses the bonds of family and behavioral changes involved in growing up, and raises the issue of culture differences in a powerful way.
It is a good book for children who like characters that they can relate to some. And the children can also learn what it was like for families in the New World.
