Midwest: Prairie Fire, by Francis Blackbear Bosin.
In this picture, a prairie fire rages out of control, and Native Americans on horseback, deer, and coyotes race to escape the inferno.
- What seems to be moving faster, the fire or the animals and people trying to outrun it?

How Artists See America: East West South Midwest
by: Colleen Carroll
In How Artists See America, sixteen works of art show the many different ways a selection of great artists, from Winslow Homer and Childe Hassam to Georgia O'Keeffe and Romare Bearden, have perceived the breathtaking variety of landscapes and the diversity of people living in the four major regions of the United States. Author Colleen Carroll's engaging, conversational text is filled with thought-provoking questions and imaginative activities that spark children's natural curiosity both about the subject of the artwork and about the way it was created.
