But when we first heard about FRY BREAD and Kevin Noble Maillard, that was something else.
Some Indigenous authors are distant cousins–like Cynthia Leitich Smith, who is a member of the Muscogee Creek Nation, and recognized this by including a Seminole character in RAIN IS NOT MY INDIAN NAME. Of course, we feel kinship with all Native books meant to lift us up, and give others authentic representation of every nation and culture. There is no doubt about it–Native children’s literature and YA literature, fiction and nonfiction, is having a moment. Every time we turn around, there’s another wonderful book at the library or the publication details are announced or there’s an exciting blog or interview.
