A wonderful celebration of Native Nations and a day (since 2011) that encourages Native pride. (One I had not heard of.)

Rounded up for the exuberance.

American Indian Youth Literature Picture Book Honor winner.

This picture book has beautiful illustrations, diverse representations, and a pronunciation guide at the beginning of the book, which is super helpful. I would definitely recommend this for people looking for great indigenous heritage picture books.

This book is a must have for Elementary School Libraries for me. The book is a lovely picture book introduction to Rock Your Mocs Day. I love the variety of nations represented and the diverse characters throughout. I also appreciate that the author and Illustrator are Indigenous themselves.
