Fry Bread by Kevin Noble Maillard

Earning much recognition in 2019, this children’s book shows the myriad ways in which fry bread is interwoven in native culture in our country. The poetic text and illustrations share with the reader the importance of this traditional food in all kinds of Native American families, despite the vast diversity of native peoples. The picture book format is followed by a lengthy section of author’s notes, which works like a nonfiction complement, complete with citations. Although written for kids, it is age-appropriate for anyone interested in better understanding this culture… or anyone with fry bread memories of their own!
