Reviews"A wonderful and sweet book [that] takes a staple food of many tribes across the country and uses it to think about family, history, memory and community. . . Lovely stuff." -- The New York Times Book Review "With buoyant, heartfelt illustrations that show the diversity in Native America, the book tells the story of a post-colonial food, a shared tradition across the North American continent . . . Through this topic that includes the diversity of so many Native peoples in a single story, Maillard (Mekusukey Seminole) promotes unity and familiarity among nations. Fry bread is much more than food, as this book amply demonstrates." -- Kirkus Reviews , starred review "Fry Bread celebrates the thing itself and much, much more . . . Maillard and Martinez-Neal bring depth, detail, and whimsy to this Native American food story, with text and illustrations depicting the diversity of indigenous peoples, the role of continuity between generations, and the adaptation over time of people, place, and tradition." -- Booklist , starred review "A powerful meditation" -- Publishers Weekly , starred review "This warm and charming book shows and affirms Native lives. The informational text and expressive drawings give it broad appeal." -- School Library Journal , starred review "Rich with smells and sounds, Fry Bread radiates with Native American pride, the sharing of traditions and the love of family." -- Book Page , starred review "An affecting picture book that features family and friends gathering, creating and enjoying fry bread together. Glorious . . . [Back matter] augments the simple, sincere verses with illuminating edification for older readers . . . Remarkable in balancing the shared delights of extended family with onerous ancestral legacy, Maillard both celebrates and bears witness to his no-single-recipe-fits-all community." -- Shelf Awareness, "Through the story and the book's beautiful pictures, Kevin Noble Maillard and Juana Martinez-Neal capture the complexity of native identity." --Graham Lee Brewer, NPR "A wonderful and sweet book [that] takes a staple food of many tribes across the country and uses it to think about family, history, memory and community. . .

  • She told me it was a fun book to read.

    Bought the book for my great niece. She thoroughly enjoyed it. She has not made the fry bread yet, but I am sure it is forthcoming.
