Children's Book Press is committed to bringing the stories of North America's Native peoples to our children.

You will find the charming tale of Baby Rattlesnake, adapted from the treasured Chickasaw storyteller Te Ata; the first Native history written for children from the Native American perspective; a visual feast of gratitude to artist George Littlechild's Dogrib ancestors; and the real-life tale of two boys' experience at a California boarding school for Native American children. And many more!
