Many Ways of Being Native

By: Reno, Ginger

A lyrical picture book reminding two children that no matter what they do, they are both Native--and who they are is enough.

Celebrate Native identity and diversity in this bedtime story for ages 4 to 7, inspiring children to feel proud of themselves and the many ways they shine.

A winged messenger visits two Native children in their sleep and shows them how other Native children have grown up, each with different interests, dreams, and appearances.

The message: Native people are many. Native people are still here. And it's what is inside, not outside, that unites Native people.

A moving celebration of identity, belonging, and the truth that who we are is always enough.
