This is the official announcement of the 2021 GERTRUDE WARNER Book Awards for Middle Grade Fiction, a division of the CIBAs. Congratulations to the First Place Category Winners and the GERTRUDE WARNER Grand Prize Winner.
Americana fiction are novels that help tell the history, culture and folklore of what makes Americans uniquely American. (Goodreads) We have noted some Americana works, which really shows the wide, incredible expanse, that Americana Fiction and history can transcend. We also touch on some uniquely American history with some great sources links.
Join us in looking at some of the wonderful books that draw inspiration from our Earth and environmental themes by these award-winning authors: Pamela Beason, Lawrence Verigin, Anna Carner, David Fitz-Gerald, Gloria Two-Feathers, and Amy Stross.
A beautiful Children’s book told in the cadence of the Lakota. Two-Feather’s weaves her magic again and delivers a winner. Highly recommended for all children and those who love to read to them.
We are celebrating Children's Book Week with our favorites!
Gloria Two-Feathers comes from a combined Scottish and Native American heritage and studied extensively with a Lakota elder. Story-telling springs naturally from her background, allowing her to create, in Tallulah’s Flying Adventure, a tale ideal for reading aloud and sure to engage the reader as much as the listener.
