Here is a comment about Alaska Boots for Chelsea by an Anchorage School District Librarian:

Your book was beautifully illustrated. In a few pages it teaches volumes about Athabaskan culture and craftsmanship. I especially appreciated the added information about and Alaskan wildlife. The story is clear and easy to understand, the message profound. Recommend for ages 4-9. Also very effective for our 3rd grade Alaskan Cultures curriculum
