A wonderful journey on the North flowing Mississippi River
Sanna Baker does a marvelous job describing a part of the Mississippi River few people ever hear or know about. Baker's description makes you feel as if you are actually traveling with her on her journey. The illustrations bring Baker's story to life. The book is also a good source of factual information and Indian folklore. a wonderful resource for Social Studies teachers!
