Head West, Young Readers, Head West

On the tails of bison and trails of Native Americans, explorers Lewis and Clark search for the elusive Northwest Passage in my latest emergent reader, What's So Great About Lewis and Clark?, published by Mitchell Lane Publishers.

My beach buddies thought I was a bit crazy this past summer, as I read old journals by the explorers and drew lines in the sand to show the trek west and back again. I journeyed with the Corp of Discovery as they faced new challenges, people, and possibilities.

Although the book is written for adventurous elementary school students, even adults will lose themselves in this history-changing trek to Oregon and back again.

Curl up with a cup of hot chocolate and escape. Enjoy!
