Indian Gardens is a delightful learning experience about a small woodland American Indian tribe from New England, called the Niswa. These people were avid rock hounds. The book shows the readers the importance of collecting rocks: how rocks were stored, prepared for various tools, and used in daily activities.
It is with prayer that the coauthors, Mary Williams and Dorene Smith, hope that this explanation of history will inspire young readers to indulge in rock exploring and maybe even produce future rock collectors, simply by seeing what's in a rock.
