About the Book
A celebration of traditional ways of life and the power of sharing what we have. “Rez kid!” The girl ignores the taunt as she hurries to the back of the school bus. She just wants to get home to the reservation, where she can feel safe. When she tells her family members what happened, they each offer advice. Their ideas are different, but similar at heart: share something from the reservation with the other children. The girl listens but decides to come up with her own idea – one rooted in her ancestral past. An inspiring story about embracing who we are and sharing our gifts with others.
