Jo Jo Makoons: The Used-To-Be Best Friend by Dawn Quigley

4.0

Boozhoo, Jo Jo Makoons! This is such a fantastic start to a new beginning chapter book series! Jo Jo Makoons is a fun and spunky first grader growing up on a fictional Ojibwe reservation. In this first book, she is navigating some friendship issues that come with school. There is a little bit of Ojibwe (and Michif) language mixed in, as well as references to daily life on the reservation. Super cute illustrations serve to up the child appeal. I look forward to reading more in this series. Highly recommended for grades 1 & up!
