I really loved that this book specifically spoke about the Native American culture. It was a Native American family making fry bread. This is a food from their culture. They were making it with their family and talking about how this food carries significance and importance to their people.

This book is great for younger kids like 1st to 3rd grade students. Its an amazing story about indigenous people and the importance if family coming together through food. I would definitely have this in my future classroom.

This book can teach readers about the history of fry bread and and what it means to them. This book tells the story of an American Indian family's fry bread recipe and the family connection they have with fry bread. I would recommend this book to K-3rd graders because I can see these students enjoying the illustrations and being able to understand the context of the book.
