Wilma regresa a casa: la vida de Wilma Mankiller
The 5-title award-winning and critically acclaimed Big Words series by Doreen Rappaport for Grades 3–5 gives young readers an accessible, thorough introduction to the lives of our nation’s most compelling historical figures. Drawing upon quotes from her subjects, along with a variety of sources, Rappaport’s lyrical prose creates very human portraits of Martin Luther King, Jr., Abraham Lincoln, Eleanor Roosevelt, Wilma Mankiller, and Frederick Douglass.
Despite the many obstacles, from resistance to female leadership to a life-threatening accident, Wilma's courageous dedication to serving her people led to her election as the first female chief of the Cherokee Nation. As a leader and advocate, she reinvigorated her constituency by empowering them to identify and solve community problems. The touching prose by award-winning author Doreen Rappaport is interwoven with Wilma's own words in this expertly researched biography, illustrated with warmth and vivacity by Linda Kukuk.
