Brave

"Weshoyot Alvitre’s Brave reminds me of my grandfathers, who represented our tribal nations in the United States military. The writing and images in the book reclaim the word “brave” and center it, shining a light on the Native men who have grown their hair long despite such cultural traditions being at times outlawed, misrepresented and ridiculed. Alvitre’s pictures evoke the power of Indigenous peoples, through the generations. Share this book with young readers from Native families, from military families, and from every family that’s called upon to be courageous in a challenging world. (For ages 5 to 9)"
