# data[].attributes.body
This informational book answers key questions about Columbus' voyage to America, such as: "Why did Columbus want to reach the New World—and was he the first to cross the Atlantic Ocean?," "What was life like on one of his ships?," "What did America look like before Columbus arrived?," and "How did Columbus treat the native people?" This book focuses on both Columbus and the Taino people, giving it a more balanced point of view. Students are likely to be engaged by the question and answer format as well.

This work of historical fiction tells the story of Columbus landing in the Americas. However, it is told through the eyes of a boy -- a member of the Taino people who already lived there. This book will help teach students about the Taino, who are usually neglected in stories of European Exploration. It can also help students practice empathy and imagine what it must have been like to be a member of the Taino when Columbus arrived.
