Critics Review
Praise for What Your Ribbon Skirt Means to Me:
A Center for the Study of Multicultural Children’s Literature Best Book of the Year
A Rise: A Feminist Book Project List Selection
“Bunten (Aleut/Yup’ik) engages readers with lively language. Neidhardt’s (Diné) bold, realistic art radiates with strength, especially when Pia’s grandmother teaches her about the importance of regalia. A powerful story of intergenerational strength, womanhood, and Native pride.”–Kirkus Reviews, starred review
“Could be used in units on Indigenous history or during Women’s History Month. It would make a great companion to Fry Bread by Kevin Noble Maillard and Sharice’s Big Voice by Sharice Davids. An accessible picture book about an important voice on the U.S. political scene.”–SLJ
“This simple story … artfully folds in all kinds of cultural details about Indigenous ceremonies, customs, and beliefs. Filled with bright, full-page illustrations, this attractive publication celebrates multiple urban and intertribal Native American traditions.”–Booklist, starred review
