November is Native American History Month, and the Children’s Department has some great reads for you all to check out! Even though we’re highlighting Native American authors, illustrators, and book characters today, let us keep in mind that these books should be read not only on November, but every month. Their stories and voices should always be uplifted and empowered! Check these titles out at the Homewood Public Library Children’s Department or place a hold on them through the links provided below. Enjoy!
