“Four kids in T-shirts and jeans jam on a powwow stage. They’re grinning, bouncing, fully engaged with their music, each other, and the relaxed crowd. I’m splitting fry bread with a cousin as we cheer on the band, and across the tent, a young girl reading a paperback catches my eye. In that moment, I wish for more characters like those kids in the pages of children’s books. This anthology is a fulfillment of that wish.” Middle GradeMiddle SchoolAnthologyChildrens BooksIndigenous PeoplesChildrens LiteratureNative American LiteratureIndigenous LiteraturePowwow Book:Ancestor Approved: Intertribal Stories for Kids Source: Ancestor Approved: Intertribal Stories for Kids
“It was only one kiss. It wasn’t a deep kiss, a French kiss, the kind of kiss that redefines a teen life. It was pepperoni, snowflakes, spit, and rodeo dust. Crazy, like dancing and soaring and walking to a new home. Sweeter because it didn’t taste like good-bye.” PhotographyPhotographerNative AmericanIndigenousMiddle SchoolGrief And HealingTween FictionTween Books Book:Rain Is Not My Indian Name Source: Rain Is Not My Indian Name
