Winner of the 2020 Robert F. Sibert Informational Book Medal and a 2020 American Indian Youth Literature Picture Book Honor Winner. "A wonderful and sweet book... Lovely stuff." - The New York Times Book Review. Debut author Kevin Noble Maillard uses lively and powerful verse to depict a modern Native American family in Fry Bread, with vibrant illustrations by Pura Belpre Award winner and Caldecott Honoree Juana Martinez - Neal. Fry bread isn't just food; it's warm, delicious, and piled high on a plate. It represents time, bringing families together for meals and creating new memories. It's a nation - wide tradition, shared from coast to coast. It's a celebration of the old and new, traditional and modern, similarities and differences.
To enjoy this book, start by finding a quiet and comfortable place. Read it slowly to soak in the beautiful verses and admire the amazing illustrations. There aren't any strict rules on how to read it - you can go page by page or skip around. If you're sharing it with kids, encourage them to ask questions and talk about what they see. Keep the book in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the pages from yellowing. When not in use, store it on a bookshelf to keep it safe and in good condition.
