The Birchbark House

By Louise Erdrich

For ages 7-10

"This is the first book in a truly wonderful series for kids and young adults by the acclaimed writer, Louise Erdrich. This book is a critical corollary to the popular Little House on the Prairie books, telling the story from the perspective of Omakayas, a little girl growing up in the Ojibwe nation in the mid-1800’s. Filled with details and beautifully written, they offer a much-needed counterpoint to the tales of Laura Ingalls Wilder. I can’t recommend this and the other books in the series highly enough.” — Eve Fox, Digital Director
