Reviews
Kindergarten-Grade 2-Both Anna, an Anglo, and Juanita, a Navajo, find the first day of school exciting and scary. They are both reservation children but live in different worlds. Blonde-haired, fair-skinned Anna is apprehensive as she boards a bus full of dark-skinned, dark-haired children. "'I don't think I'm going to have any friends here,'" she thinks. Their teacher introduces the girls to each other and to a set of "magic" blocks. They can't understand how ordinary blocks can be magic, but they play with them, first separately, and then, at Mrs. Yazzie's suggestion, together. "'It doesn't matter what color the blocks are, they all fit together,'" she explains. Tracy's pastel crayon drawings on warm, desert-brown paper add strength and meaning to this simple but didactic story about building bridges of understanding.
