Review: Reuniting With Family : I didn't want to give away the story in previous reviews, but I now feel safe to say that this is the book in which Kaya reunites with her blind sister, Speaking Rain. In Book 2, Kaya had to leave her sister behind to escape from an enemy camp, and worried the whole time after that she would never see her sister again. But in this book, Kaya is reunited with her sister, who has something to say that will alter the happiness Kaya is feeling. As usual, the art in the book is beautiful, and the history pages in the book were quite interesting. Sadly, the waterfalls where Kaya's people fished for salmon in this book were ruined by the building of dams, otherwise I might want to see real pictures of what were described as amazing waterfalls. Kaya and her peoples' story is an interesting one, because there wasn't much civilization back then, and the land was more open and wild. I think every girl learning about the Nez Perce, American history, Native Americans, or any girl who loves to read should read the Kaya books.
