Gertrude Doederlein's LIVING WITH OUR CHILDREN
Scarlett wrote to tell me about a blog post at Awful Library Books in which Holly Hibler (the blogger) wrote about Gertrude Doederlein's Living With Our Children. Part of Hibler's post is about playing Indian. Published in 1941, the book is old. I wish it reflects a past and practice that no longer occurs, but readers of American Indians in Children's Literature know the practice is still with us today...

I was actually the one who weeded this book and submitted it. I went to one of your presentations a few years ago, and what you said really stuck with me. I submitted it not to shame the author, but because I thought it might help other people start a conversation. Thank you for all of your hard work!
Thanks for taking time to submit your comment! It is good to know that ideas shared in presentations are applied in practice.
