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

5.0

Absolutely love this early chapter book with Native (Ojibwe) representation!! Funny, relatable story about friendship & school struggles of a 1st grader interspersed with helpful education on terms & traditions that would likely be unfamiliar to the majority of students. Having this kind of representation will be so valuable in helping kids start to see a more complete picture of Native identities grounded in the contemporary. Will definitely be adding to my elementary library collection.
