Family names (written by the illustrator’s children) and an image of the author’s aunt (who taught him to make fry bread) give Fry Bread an incredibly personal, cherished feel. Echoes of ancient cave art, symbolic tattoos, handmade baskets and ceremonial designs tell a story of tradition. They may be making fry bread, but what they are truly creating is family, tradition and abiding pride in both.ĭeftly illustrated by Juana Martinez-Neal, every page of Fry Bread is imbued with Native American history and culture. For each step-mixing, frying and waiting-the bread represents an important aspect of their heritage.
In Kevin Noble Maillard’s Fry Bread: A Native American Family Story, a family gathers to prepare a traditional Native American fry bread meal.
