- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Kimmy, a Native American girl, is staying with her grandmother for a week while her parents go ahead to where her father will be starting a new job. With all the changes, Kimmy starts having bad dreams. Her grandmother makes her a dreamcatcher out of a bent twig, beads, feathers and leather strips and tells her how "their people" started making them. The tale she tells about a spider web catching a child's bad dream goes back generations in their culture. The gift her grandmother gave her was more than a dreamcatcher - it was a legacy of family history and belonging to "her Chippewa people". I enjoyed this book since I'm from New Mexico and dreamcatchers are everywhere. It was fun to read about the love between the grandmother and Kimmy and how she handed down something special to her.In class, it would be easy to make dreamcatchers to hang from the classroom ceiling.We could read more about the Chippewa people.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Summary: "Grandmother's Dreamcatcher" is a fictional story about a young girl named Kimmy, who learns about the power of dreamcatchers. After being dropped off by her parents, Kimmy starts experiencing nightmares while she sleeps. Taking note of this, Kimmy's Grandmother teaches Kimmy how to make a dreamcatcher, something used to trap the bad dreams and allow good ones to pass. Kimmy falls in love with her dreamcatcher and decides to make one for each of her parents. She even draws a picture of the entire family standing beneath a dreamcatcher. Kimmy's mom and dad like that present the most.Review: I really liked reading this story. When I was a young boy, I had the opportunity to make my own dreamcatcher to ward off nightmares. It was comforting to read about Kimmy and her Grandmother finding the different parts to make the dreamcatcher; it reminded me of my mom and I making one for me. This book brought back a lot of happy memories!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is about the relationship between a grandmother and grandchild and the history if Chippewa dream catchers.I would use this book during history class when studying the different Native Americans.
