And when Malsum, one of the dogs living on the rez, shows up at their door, Malian’s family knows that he’ll protect them too.Told in verse inspired by oral storytelling, this novel about the COVID-19 pandemic highlights the ways in which Indigenous nations and communities cared for one another through plagues of the past, and how they keep caring for one another today.**Four starred reviews!**Boston Globe-Horn Book Fiction & Poetry HonorNPR Books We Love Kirkus Reviews Best BooksSchool Library Journal Best Books Chicago Public Library Best Fiction for Younger Readers Jane Addams Children’s Book Award Finalist Nerdy Book Club Award—Best Poetry and Novels in Verse
