Fry bread is color — the tan of the dough, the brown of the pan. Fry bread is history — the forced marches, the rations, the land taken. Fry bread is family — the aunties arguing about the recipe, the children watching, the hands that teach the hands. Maillard is Seminole Nation and wrote this as a love letter to a food that carries everything Indigenous families have been through. Each page names what fry bread is: time, place, memory, nation, community, resistance. The most honest picture book about Native American life and culture ever published for young children.
