Reviews
"Set in the 1930s, nonfiction author Kirk's debut picture book tells the story of John Cloud, a young Mohawk boy, and his relationship with his steelworker father, who is helping to build the Empire State Building... Kirk's research into the Mohawk culture and the experience of Native steelworkers adds authenticity, making this a true-to-life portrait of family life and traditions." -- Kirkus Reviews "Children will thrill in Hale's images of the 'sky dancers' casually strolling along the narrow beams. This will work nicely to extend children's understanding of Native American traditions, and Kirk's carefully phrased author's note provides clear-eyed background on how members of this particular group came to be disproportionately represented in such a spine-tingling line of work." -- Booklist " Sky Dancers is a book for children written by Connie Ann Kirk (Seneca) which tells the story of a boy whose grandfather and father are Mohawk steelworkers. The story itself is just terrific and many adults will enjoy reading it too. The illustration is colorful for the kids and fits the story to a tee. Beautifully bound, this hardcover book features 32 pages of pure enjoyment that will surely last a lifetime or two." -- The Eastern Door "First-time picture book author Connie Ann Kirk extensively researched the Mohawk Indians' role in building New York City's skyscrapers and bridges, telling a story rich in history and tradition... Christy Hale's paintings burst with vibrant autumn colors and soaring compositions that pay tribute to the steelworkers as true 'sky dancers'." -- SW Indian Cty Traveler Choices, Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC), "Set in the 1930s, nonfiction author Kirk's debut picture book tells the story of John Cloud, a young Mohawk boy, and his relationship with his steelworker father, who is helping to build the Empire State Building. One weekend, John Cloud, his mother, and his grandfather travel from the reservation upstate to visit John Cloud's father in New York City. In full-bleed spreads, Hale captures the energy and excitement of the trip, from the train ride to the family's arrival to the moment John Cloud spots his father working way up high. Gouache illustrations draw on period influences such as the Depression-era city scenes of Edward Hopper and Art Deco angles and lines. Kirk's research into the Mohawk culture and the experience of Native steelworkers adds authenticity, making this a true-to-life portrait of family life and traditions." -- Kirkus Reviews "In her first work of fiction for children, Kirk introduces the generations-old connection between the Mohawk people and steelworking. John Cloud, who lives on a reservation, misses his father and uncle during their weeks working construction sites in Manhattan. John's first visit to the city brings both strange sights (There were traffic lights where John thought trees should be) and deepening pride when he witnesses his father's agile figure high atop the incomplete Empire State Building. . .children will thrill in Hale's images of the 'sky dancers' casually strolling along the narrow beams. This will work nicely to extend children's understanding of Native American traditions, and Kirk's carefully phrased author's note provides clear-eyed background on how members of this particular group came to be disproportionately represented in such a spine-tingling line of work." -- Booklist Back in the 1930s, Mohawk steelworkers from upstate New York reservations helped to build many of the landmark buildings and bridges in New York City. In this fictional story, John is a young Mohawk boy whose papa is a steelworker in the city. John has a chance to visit the city construction site and see his father at work high above the busy city streets - "dancing" across the sky. This interesting book highlights an important contribution of the Native American community to the history of our country. The author has done extensive research on this Mohawk tradition of steel working. The note at the end of the book gives further factual information on the Mohawks' steel-working feats, including the fact that after the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center, some decedents of the original workers came into the city to help with the rescue, recovery, and cleanup operations at ground zero. Bold gouache paintings in an autumn palette show a variety of perspectives: from the heights of the skyscrapers, to the train running along the river on the way into the city, and from the backyard tree that John climbs at home to practice for his longed-for career as a skydancer. The artwork effectively complements the story. -- Library Media Connection "Sky Dancers is a book for children written by Connie Ann Kirk (Seneca) which tells the story of a boy whose grandfather and father are Mohawk steelworkers.
