This is a historical fiction, chapter book about a little girls journey west. It is set in the time where the Indians were forced out of their land. This book is the little girls story about all the fears and trails she had to overcome on the "trail on which they wept"
I liked this book because it was told by a little girl and I think that it would relate to the younger children well. I like how the story touched even me who already knew about the trail of tears.
In the classroom this would be a wonderful book to begin a history lesson about the Indians with. After we read it we can drow pictures, do shadow boxes, or even write a story of our own to show a hard time that the students had to go through to reach a goal. Also, I could use show more this story to teach a lesson on goal setting and how it is important to follow your heart and dreams like the Indians did, and how times might be hard but to keep going. show less
