The story itself flowed and is worded beautifully. There is also the author’s very own Fry Bread recipe! If you love recipes, this is one that should be noted! I would recommend this piece for the parents to read. However, this part was not as appealing to my daughter which was understandable as it was a lot of reading. This was that extra special touch that truly made me enjoy this book more. The author also goes into depth on each meaning to each piece such as Fry Bread Is Food which is an example of the ones you will find.Ībsolutely loved reading these and it really gave us an inside look as to how this book was inspired and written. At the end of the book, the author provides a very detailed note on how fry bread came to be and a bit of history on it. Fry Bread provides us all that and so much more. We love learning about different cultures and communities. #MelAndNikkiReviewįry Bread is a unique story and one that we enjoyed reading. It is a celebration of old and new, traditional and modern, similarity and difference. It is shared by many, from coast to coast and beyond.

It brings families together for meals and new memories. It is warm and delicious, piled high on a plate. Told in a lively and powerful verse by debut author Kevin Noble Maillard, Fry Bread is an evocative depiction of a modern Native American family, vibrantly illustrated by Pura Belpre Award winner and Caldecott Honoree Juana Martinez-Neal. “The story of fry bread is the story of American Indians: embracing community and culture in the face of opposition.” – Kevin Noble Maillard Synopsis
