Description
Spillett captures the joy of the round dance, and a feeling of belonging and connection offered in intergenerational Indigenous community. Publishers Weekly, starred review
From New York Times bestselling author Tasha Spillett and illustrator Daniel Ramirez comes a joyous intergenerational celebration of gender self-expression and acceptance through an Indigenous lens.
Raven loves Round Dances. The drums sing to the people. The people dance to the music. Ravens favorite part is to watch the ribbon skirts, swirling like a rainbow. He wishes he could have a ribbon skirt of his own, but his grandmother has never seen a boy wearing one. Until the next round dance, when it turns out that even someone who has lived a long time can see wonderful things that theyve never seen before.
In the spirit of beloved books like Juli?n is a Mermaid, here is a moving intergenerational story celebrating identity, self-expression, and the realization that even within our traditions, there is room for beautiful reinvention.
