Recensione:

"Being named Slow and growing up in the shadow of a great warrior hardly dwarfed the prospects of this protagonist: he grew up to be Sitting Bull. Bruchac's sensitively told story of Sitting Bull's coming-of-age reassures young boys that success comes through effort, not birth." —Booklist

"Satisfying for its attention to historical and multicultural issues; stirring in its consummate storytelling." —Publishers Weekly

"The pictures evoke a sense of timelessness and distance, possessing an almost mythic quality that befits this glimpse into —Horn Book
