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.
