Sitting Bull Remembers

Reach for this book when your child is beginning to ask deep questions about unfairness in history or when they are struggling with a major life transition that feels like losing a piece of their identity. This poignant story uses the perspective of Sitting Bull in his final days to reflect on a life of bravery, leadership, and the painful reality of a changing world. It is a powerful tool for helping children process collective grief and the importance of holding onto one's heritage even when the physical landscape of life shifts. While the book touches on the Battle of Little Bighorn, it focuses more on the internal emotional journey of a leader looking back. It is best suited for children ages 6 to 10 who can handle a narrative that is bittersweet rather than purely triumphant. Parents will appreciate the lyrical prose and the way it honors Indigenous history with dignity and gravity, providing a starting point for discussions about justice and cultural resilience.
