The Trail Book

Set against the backdrop of the New York Museum of Natural History, two children embark on magical adventures as they interact with displays that come to life. Through encounters with talking animals, they explore the lives of ancient Native Americans and the effects of European contact on both cultures and wildlife. Featuring diverse narrators and rich illustrations, this classic emphasizes the importance of recognizing North America's history and culture prior to 1492. An afterword by Melody Graulich highlights its significance in multicultural literature.
