Description:

Fry bread is food. Fry bread is shape. Fry bread is sound, colour, flavour, time, place, history, family — and so much more. In this beautifully crafted, multi-award-winning picture book, debut author Kevin Noble Maillard gathers an extended modern Native American family around the kitchen as they roll, fry and share this beloved staple together. Each lyrical, free-verse spread celebrates a different facet of fry bread, from the simple flour-and-water recipe to the deep, sometimes painful history that gave it life, to the joyful gatherings, powwows and everyday moments where it appears. Caldecott Honoree Juana Martinez-Neal's warm, textured artwork glows with the wonderful diversity of Native America. Winner of the Sibert Medal and a Caldecott Honor book — a true treasure to read, share and savour.
