  • Fry bread is more than just a food to Native Americans.

    Teresa B. - 6 years 4 months ago

    This book is getting a lot of well-deserved press as it provides a lyrical homage to a Native American food. The author provides plenty of imagery as readers can feel the soft dough, hear the oil sizzle, smell the bread cooking, and taste it as it melts on the tongue. This is a family affair--a cooking event that unites kin with one another, and with their ancestors. The main part of the book is wonderfully evocative, and the end pages provide further insights about issues facing Native Americans--extending the text and providing context, as well as additional information about what can be seen in the illustrations. Speaking of which, Caldecott Honor winner Juana Martinez-Neal's gorgeous acrylic and colored pencil illustrations are truly spectacular. Put that text with those pictures and you've got a winner. You don't just buy this book to diversify your collection. You buy it because it is splendid. #Summer Reading
