Fry Bread: A Native American Family Story : Maillard, Kevin Noble, Martinez-Neal, Juana: desertcart.co.uk: Books Review: This is a remarkable book that I discovered in our local library and just had to bring home. This heartfelt story beautifully represents the rich diversity of Native American culture. What truly stands out is the inclusivity of the illustrations, which help convey to my son that Native Americans come from all backgrounds. The vibrant and engaging artwork not only captures attention but also sparks conversations about the importance of embracing our differences. The heart of this book lies in the exploration of fry bread, not only as a delicious treat but also as a cultural symbol that connects Native American families. The accompanying recipes and different ways to dress and enjoy fry bread are a delightful discovery. They invite readers to learn and appreciate the significance of this food in Native American communities. One aspect that I truly appreciate is the list of recognized North American tribes featured on the inside covers. It serves as a valuable educational tool, highlighting the multitude of distinct Native American cultures across the continent. Overall, this book is a treasure that not only educates and entertains but also fosters inclusivity and understanding. It's a must-have for families seeking to explore the rich tapestry of Native American heritage. Review: The book is beautiful. The illustrations are inclusive. The story is simple and sweet. There's a recipe for fry bread in it. There's even further detail about fry bread at the end of the book, even the beginning and end pages have listed countless Aboriginal tribal names. Excellent story to read together and then evolve into making the recipe for fry bread together. 10/10.

This is the most adorable book. I bought it to donate it to the Fort at No. 4, which is a living history site in Charlestown NH that often has fourth graders coming in to learn about life during the 1750s. The story of fry bread is laid out beautifully, gently explaining the negatives without erasing them.

I loved this story and its history lesson for young children. We made the fry bread recipe and it was delicious. A great book for any children's library.
