The biography I chose was “Pocahontas The True Story of the Powhatan Princess” by Catherine Iannone. This book was very engaging and taught me a lot of information that I never knew about before. This book held a lot of information about the Powhatan tribe too and would be a great resource for research. One thing I learned from this experience was to never judge a book by its genre. This book has encouraged me to try and read more biographies or informational books. I think one thing the book could have was pictures with labels. Other than that I thought this book was very moving and I recommend it to anyone who loves history and wants to learn more about Pocahontas.

Seems a little biased, but otherwise a good short bio.

As far as I remember, I really like this when I read it.

Good information, but included two pictures with obvious nudity. Won't be sharing with my children...
