This is a beautiful book of photos relating to the Pacific Northwest. I live in Yakima and was happily surprised to find "Y is for Yakama" - they even spelled the Yakama's name with the newly adopted spelling. It goes through listing animals, geographic features and native people. This is a fantastic book for anyone, but especially those wanting to teach their children about the Pacific Northwest. . and Yakima!!

Bought this for my 2 year old son. We live in the Pacific Northwest and he loves Orcas. The book is beautifully photographed and captures what makes this part of the country so unique. Great little gem.
