## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Beautiful photos, well-written story, insightful journal excerpts...
  

*by S***Y on Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2018*

My 7 year old and I have been enjoying this story as a companion to another one we're reading about the same geographical area & time period (D'Aulaire's Buffalo Bill). I hoped this would help balance the telling of history and I think it helped to accomplish that. Love the illustrations, photos, story, anecdotes, and additional reading, citations, and timeline in the back.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great book
  

*by E***S on Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2020*

Thought this would be more a kids book, and I'd say it could be, but it gave a lot of historical information about the time period and Buffalo Bird Girl that was appreciated by this adult. :)

    One of Nelson's best
  

*by B***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2012*

I have all of S.D. Nelson's children's books, but this is one of his best. For those who enjoyed his "Black Elk's Vision," Nelson continues to both teach and delight the eyes with his many-layered illustrations. In "Buffalo Bird Girl: A Hidatsa Story" he achieves a depth of color and texture in his illustrations similar to the richness of "Dance in a Buffalo Skull." The history on which the book is based can be seen in photographs from North Dakota Hidatsa/Mandan sites and archives, showing the daily life and chores of native American women. Nelson also includes his pencil drawings, which lend an extra dimension to his storytelling. The text moves the story along simply and elegantly. Readers will see that Nelson's world view - all creatures and living things are sacred and deserve respect - is evident on every page. It is the sign of sophistication when an author can say a great deal in a single image, such as the final page where two sisters are 'singing up' shoots of corn. Nelson has two daughters, and "Buffalo Bird Girl" is dedicated to one of them. The book is crafted beautifully from end pages to the notes, indexes, and references at the back. A lovely book for young readers.
