"Nature-forward and respectful toward both elders and place." - Kirkus Praise for And They Walk On : "Stunning and essential." - Kirkus , starred review "[An] emotionally centered picture book about the Indigenous concept of "walking on." - Publishers Weekly , starred review "This book has universal appeal for anyone coping with a loss, but by keeping the text centered on the child's feelings and responses, it's particularly useful as a grief resource for a wide range of children." - Booklist , starred review " And They Walk On provides a compassionate space for children to contemplate loss. Maillard and López remind readers that mourning can coexist with joy and that, even in that absence, presence lingers--like the scent of eucalyptus in a bustling kitchen." - Shelf Awareness Praise for Fry Bread: "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.

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 . Fry bread is much more than food, as this book amply demonstrates." -- Kirkus Reviews , starred review.
