Sacagawea was only sixteen when she made one of the most remarkable journeys in American history, traveling 4500 miles by foot, canoe, and horse-all while carrying a baby on her back!

Through this engaging book, kids will understand the reasons that today, 200 years later, she is still remembered and immortalized on a new golden dollar coin.

Kids can learn all about Sacagawea, who was only 16 when she made the famous journey across 4,500 miles of unexplored territory with Lewis and Clark as their guide. Illustrations.

I liked the book overall. The pictures were good, authentic, and some had good captions. It also has a timeline of her life and one of world events included in the back of the book that I found informative and helpful to students. This is a good read aloud or would be helpful if doing a report on Sacagawea.
