Jojo Makoons: Fancy Pants
The Jojo Makoons series does a beautiful job of seamlessly integrating Ojibwe and Michif words and culture throughout the story of a young girl navigating school and life, and figuring things out as she goes along. She sometimes takes things said very literally a la Amelia Bedelia and likes to show people when she's being "helpful" with her smiles and head tilts. Young readers will love Jojo Makoons and her bear ear hair and this story, in particular, tells the relatable tale of figuring out what it means to be fancy as Jojo prepares for a trip off of her familiar reservation to the exotic land of Wisconsin for a family wedding. She's heard that dairy is a pretty big deal there and anticipates getting cheese on everything. Readers will fall in love with Jojo!
