Who Was Sacagawea?
Written by Judith Bloom Fradin
Illustrated by Nancy Harrison & Val Paul Taylor
Grades: 3-7
Without Sacagawea the Lewis and Clark expedition would have been a failure. The western United States would have taken a lot longer to map. Sacagawea was sixteen years old and had a baby on her back when she made her remarkable journey. She would lead the team on a
4500 mile trek by foot, canoe, and horse. America remembers her in many ways and over 200 years later on a gold coin.
This book gives a wonderful background to Sacagawea before she lead the expedition with Lewis and Clark. It is written in a way that the elementary students can understand and take interest in.
