Title: great cultural learning with a girl as teh heroine
Review: I bought The Whale Rider to show to my grandchildren. It is a excellent way to show a girl as the heroine and how she overcomes being excluded from traditions because of her gender. It also presents a cultural tie to nature through the native peoples tie to the whales. Although it is a little predictible from an adult point of view, their love and traditions of life with the whales are presented in a thoughtful and gentle way.
