When she arrived on the mainland of Southern California, Miss Karana spoke a language that no one could understand even back then, and all that remains is a recording of the song she sang when she was found on the island. T shmal realizes that some of the words sound very similar to Chamt ela (Luise o), the language spoken on her reservation. As she writes to Miss Karana, T shmal becomes more and more resolved to understand the lone woman's song. The only person able to help her is a grouchy great uncle, W h Pow eya (\"two tongues\"), the last living person fluent in the language of their ancestors from the belly button of the ocean: the islands including San Nicol s. Together, T shmal and W h Pow eya must discover what the lone woman said long ago in order to help her spirit finish the journey West.\u003cp\u003eFirst written in Chamt ela and developed in accordance with fourth grade Common Core State Standards, \u003ci\u003eDear Miss Karana\u003c\/i\u003e tells a compelling story of family, determination, and cultural perseverance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eric Elliott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1597143235\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781597143233\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Heyday Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 126\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.00h x 4.90w x 0.40d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eric Elliott","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44049645175039,"sku":"9781597143233","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_30a38f6e-ec98-41c6-8e9a-7c329076fd93.jpg?v=1685002695","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dear-miss-karana-eric-elliott-9781597143233","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
