Many Ways of Being Native

A lyrical picture book reminding two children that no matter what they do, they are both Native—and who they are is enough.

Celebrate Native identity and diversity in this bedtime story for ages 4 to 7, inspiring children to feel proud of themselves and the many ways they shine.

A winged messenger visits two Native children in their sleep and shows them how other Native children have grown up, each with different interests, dreams, and appearances. 

The message: Native people are many. Native people are still here. And it’s what is inside, not outside, that unites Native people.

A moving celebration of identity, belonging, and the truth that who we are is always enough.
