WOODBURN — Woodburn is featured in a recently-published book that explores indigenous cultures while encouraging readers to learn from their ancestry.
Kelly Carlos, a Woodburn resident and former Woodburn teacher, based characters in her young adult novel, “The Flowered War of 2012,” on real-life people, including some from Woodburn.
“Woodburn is such an amazing place, a unique place and it’s very supportive of cultures,” Carlos said.
