About the Book
A powerful imagining by two Native creators of a first encounter between two very different people that celebrates our ability to acknowledge difference and find common ground--with art by New York Times bestselling illustrator and Caldecott Medalist Michaela Goade
Based on the real journal kept by French explorer Jacques Cartier in 1534, Encounter imagines a first meeting between a French sailor and a Stadaconan fisher. As they navigate their differences, the wise animals around them note their similarities, illuminating common ground.
This extraordinary imagining by Brittany Luby, Professor of Indigenous History, is paired with stunning art by Michaela Goade, winner of 2018 American Indian Youth Literature Best Picture Book Award. Encounter is a luminous telling from two Indigenous creators that invites readers to reckon with the past, and to welcome, together, a future that is yet unchartered.(amazon,)

Happy National Literacy Day!
NATIONAL FAMILY LITERACY DAY
Families gather around to observe National Family Literacy Day on November 1st. Families who read together succeed together.
There are more reasons than ever before for families to read aloud to their children from a young age. Besides the fact that reading creates quiet, quality
family time, it develops early vocabulary skills. If that wasn't enough to get a family reading together, check out these reasons:
*Expands their attention span and yours. Read chapter books even to your youngest child. They may drift off to sleep, but they are listening and their attention span will lengthen.
*It's free. Books can be checked out from the library.
*You can read well above a child's level, and they will still listen and comprehend.
*Improve listening skills. See above.
*It's portable. Reading doesn't require batteries. Except at night.
*Reading is a tool that can never be unlearned. Once a child learns to read, they never stop. You'll know because you'll have to stop spelling certain words to your spouse.
*It improves imagination and creativity.
