The ribbon skirt : a graphic novel

Cameron Mukwa (Author, Illustrator)
"Ten-year-old Anang wants to make a ribbon skirt, a piece of clothing typically worn by women in the Anishinaabe tradition, for an upcoming powwow. Anang is two-spirit and nonbinary and doesn't know what others will think of them wearing a ribbon skirt, but they're determined to follow their heart's desire. Anang sets off to gather the materials needed to make the skirt and turns to those around them--their family, their human and turtle friends, the crows, and even the lake itself--for help. And maybe they'll even find a new confidence within themself along the way"-- Provided by publisher
