Description
In this short chapter book young readers will be inspired to learn the story of Maria Tallchief, one of America’s most famous ballerinas! With a father who was a citizen of the Osage nation, Maria’s passion to preserve the rights and traditions of Native people was just as strong as her passion for dance. As an advocate for both the arts and Native Americans, she made many important contributions to society. Newly independent readers will appreciate the large font and generous spacing on pages, but even more… they’ll be inspired by the extraordinary achievements of this amazing woman. A back section in the book offers suggested activities to help the reader honor the legacy of Maria Tallchief. 55 pgs, pb. ~Nancie
Publisher's Description of She Persisted: Maria Tallchief
In this chapter book biography by award-winning author Christine Day, readers learn about the amazing life of Maria Tallchief–and how she persisted.
Maria Tallchief loved to dance, but was told that she might need to change her Osage name to one that sounded more Russian to make it as a professional ballerina. She refused, and worked hard at dancing her best, becoming America’s first prima ballerina. Many famous American ballets were created for Maria!
Category Description for She Persisted
Inspire young readers to make a difference! This series of short chapter books shares individual stories of women around the globe who faced overwhelming obstacles and yet… persisted! Although based on the best-selling picture book series by Chelsea Clinton and Alexandra Boiger, these take a more in-depth look into the lives of several women who left a legacy for future generations. Because some books touch on topics that can be difficult for young readers to grasp (slavery, abuse, segregation, etc.), discussion with an adult will be beneficial for processing. Each book has simple, cute illustrations sprinkled throughout and a short back section entitled "How You Can Persist", encouraging readers with a call to action.
