(3) K-3 Illustrated by Mangeshig Pawis-Steckley. As she grows from a child into a woman, Tatiana is guided by her wise grandmother who sews her a ribbon skirt to wear each time she marks an important rite of passage. Making and wearing the skirt reinforces the continuity of their Ojibwe traditions, fostering a loving, grateful connection to their ancestors. Woodland art-style illustrations and Ojibwe words in the text support cultural specificity. Useful back matter includes an author's note, a postface about manoomin (wild rice), and a glossary.
