Update: Closed! Thank you!

It's Native American Heritage Month this month, and we have two Massachusetts-based children's books by Indigenous authors to give away! See below for short blurbs on each book and how to enter.

In Wôpanâak Seasons by Carrie Anne Vanderhoop (illus. by Mangeshig Pawis-Steckleya), a young Wampanoag child takes readers on a seasonal journey through Aquinnah, on Neope, known as Martha's Vineyard.

Until now, you’ve only heard one side of the story: the “discovery” of America told by Christopher Columbus, the Pilgrims, and the Colonists. Colonization and the Wampanoag Story by Linda Coombs tells the true story of America from the Indigenous perspective.

To enter:
1) Like this post and follow us
2) Tag another Massachusetts book lover

We will randomly select 2 winners (who will each receive 1 copy of both books) on Friday. Good luck!

A humorous retelling of a classic tale...

Synopsis:
In Michael Rosen’s wonderfully humourous and poetic retelling of this classic tale, the impoverished Jack trades his cow for magical beans that sprout into a towering beanstalk. As he ascends the formidable vine, he discovers a castle inhabited by a menacing giant. In the chase that ensues, Jack manages to secure enough wealth to sustain himself, his mother and his village.

Author's Biography:
Celebrated British poet, author, and broadcaster MICHAEL ROSEN has served as the UK Children’s Laureate and is known for his prize-winning children’s poetry and storytelling. His unique style and ability to connect with young audiences have made him a beloved figure in contemporary literature. He has published over 100 children's books, including 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt', which has become a revered children's classic.

TALLEEN HACIKYAN is an innovative artist and printmaker whose work has been exhibited internationally. She has been featured in over 70 solo and group exhibitions. Talleen illustrated 'Aesop's Fables' retold by Michael Rosen for Tradewind Books, which garnered great critical acclaim. She lives in Montreal.

Review:
“There’s undeniable enchantment in this work. Rosen’s unsentimental but always theatrical voice, and Hacikyan’s stained-glass-like visuals, replant a familiar folktale in rich imaginative ground, showing how old stories can continue to yield new growth.” - Publishers Weekly
