We Are the Many: A Picture Book of American Indians

Illustrated by Cornelius Van Wright & Ying-Hwa Hu;
HarperCollins, 2002.

“Rappaport has written a beautiful non-fiction book about notable Native Americans. Cornelius Van Wright and Ying-Hwa Hu illustrate each chapter with their signature watercolors, filled with detail, emotion and life. Young readers will love this book’s brief biographies, which employ both native and familiar terms. They’ll marvel at the number of different tribes that live on our continent.” Book Page

“The brief biographical note and the source notes and Web sites to further research, as well as the fine illustrations, will make this useful, especially since there is so little available on the subject for this age group.” Booklist

“Rappaport imagines a vivid scene for the reader and introduces the person and their achievements. Bright, attractive watercolor illustration help set the scene. Birth and death dates, Indian and English names, and tribe are given at the head of each spread. Useful end matter includes a pronunciation guide, separate lists of research sources and suggested books and Web sites for young readers, as well as notes from the author and illustrators on their research process.” Kirkus
