Island of the Blue Dolphins

from Tales from Childhood Bookworms · host Karla and Marie

Happy Thanksgiving to all! This month we are reading "The Island of the Blue Dolphins" by Scott O'Dell, a fascinating story based on a real Native American woman who lived alone on an island in the mid 1800's. This book is also perfect for Native American Heritage month, exploring both island and indigenous life. We do have some trouble with math at the beginning of the episode that makes a few numbers confusing, so bear with us until our revelation hits at about the 20 min mark or so.    Music: Fly Faster Chicken by Alexander Nakarada | //www.serpentsoundstudios.com Music promoted by //www.free-stock-music.com Creative Commons / Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) //creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
