Kewanee is far more than just a doll! Her visually stunning physical design incorporates a whopping 22 points of realism that evoked oohs and aahs from all who encountered her. Just as impressively, her carefully-crafted play features deliver a life-enriching learning value tied to Common Core Practices. Kewanee's story, vividly told in the accompanying illustrated book and inspired by actual people, places or events, is that of a present day member of the Pokagon band of the Potawatomi Native Americans attending her very first Pow Wow. Young readers feel as though they are right there with her, excitedly experiencing the unforgettable sights, sounds, scents and tastes on this very special day. Crafts and other hand-on activities towards the back of the book prove to be a wondrous and invaluable way to further explore and appreciate Potawatomi culture. Kewanee's warmly engaging story, coupled with the extraordinary detail and durability of her design, inspire an immense amount of ongoing imaginative play!
