Kids can enjoy stories and artifacts from the history of the Kumeyaay people, and learn a few simple words in their language.
Kumeyaay Storytime is inspired by "Jingle Dancer," by Cynthia Leitich Smith, the children?s accompaniment to the 2013 One Book, One San Diego selection "Caleb?s Crossing" by Geraldine Brooks.
About the Book:
Jenna, a contemporary Muscogee (Creek) girl in Oklahoma, wants to honor a family tradition by jingle dancing at the next powwow. But where will she find enough jingles for her dress? An unusual, warm family story, beautifully evoked in Cornelius Van Wright and Ying-Hwa Hu's watercolor art.
