The Christmas Coat: Memories of my Sioux Childhood by Virginia Driving Hawk Sneve, illustrated by Ellen Beier, Holiday House, New York, 2011.
This book is a children's book but it is very good with an engaging Christmas story and nice wintry illustrations. The book is about Virginia, who needs a new coat, but because she is the minister's daughter she gets the last pick of the Theast boxes, boxes sent by church members in the East for the Native American children. So when a nice coat shows up in the boxes, it doesn't get to Virginia.
A nice look at the Sioux culture and the Christmas pageant with the wise men wearing war bonnets.
