Let’s go! Experience the magic of skating on wild ice. Two
children wake up to hear the lake singing, then the wind begins
wailing … or is it a wolf? They bundle up and venture out into
the cold, carrying their skates. On the snow-covered shore, they
spot tracks made by fox, deer, hare, mink, otter … and the wolf!
In the bay, the ice is thick and smooth. They lace up their skates,
step onto the ice, stroking and gliding, and the great lake sings
again. In her signature poetic style, Jean E. Pendziwol describes
the exhilarating experience of skating on the wild ice of Lake
Superior, including the haunting singing that occurs as the ice
expands and contracts. Accompanied by Todd Stewart’s breathtaking
illustrations, this book will make us all long to skate wild! Key

Describe characters, settings, and major events in a story, using
key details.
When the U.S. government incarcerated 120,000 Japanese Americans as
""domestic enemy aliens"" during World War II, most other Americans
succumbed to their fears and endorsed the confinement of their
fellow citizens. Ten ""relocation centers"" were scattered across
the West. Today, in the crumbling foundations, overgrown yards, and
material artifacts of these former internment camps, we can still
sense the injustices suffered there.Placing Memory is a powerful
visual record of the internment. Featuring Todd Stewart's stunning
color photographs of the sites as they appear today, the book
provides a rigorous visual survey of the physical features of the
camps - roads, architectural remains, and monuments - along with
maps and statistical information. Also included in this volume -
juxtaposed with Stewart's modern-day images - are the
black-and-white photographs commissioned during the 1940s by the
War Relocation Authority. Thoughtful essays by Karen Leong, Natasha
Egan, and John Tateishi provide provocative context for all the
photographs.
