About This Book

Through lyrical verse and vibrant illustrations, this picture book celebrates fry bread as a symbol of Native American culture, history, and family. Each spread explores a different facet - fry bread as food, art, history, and nation - weaving together a story of resilience and the warmth of intergenerational tradition.

Why We Love This

A beautiful and important book that celebrates Native culture through something as simple and universal as sharing food. The illustrations by Juana Martinez-Neal are warm and inviting.
