“Jake Warner tells his original story in
an expressive, lively manner, creating different voices for the
characters and incorporating sound effects. A ten-year-old girl
on a wagon train bound for California in 1844 is the only survivor
of a cholera outbreak. Left alone on the prairie, she is discovered
by the Sioux and Chief Red Sky adopts her into the tribe. However,
she is quarantines for one month until he is satisfied that she
will not spread the disease to his people. The chief's daughter,
Singing Bird, befriends the young white girl, and begins teaching
her the ways of the tribe. The two girls also start teaching
each other their respective languages. Eventually renamed "Rainbow" by
the Sioux, the white girl learns to ride bareback, to swim, and
to hunt buffalo. When she saves Singing Bird from a charging
buffalo, her place in the tribe is affirmed. Librarians and teachers
can use this tale to promote the art and fun of storytelling
to a younger generation.”
