Filled with lots of glitter, raised pinkies, and humorous misunderstandings, this second book in the Jo Jo Makoons series--written by Dawn Quigley and illustrated by Tara Audibert--is filled with the joy of a young Ojibwe girl discovering her very own special shine from the inside out.
First grader Jo Jo Makoons knows how to do a lot of things, like how to play jump rope, how to hide her peas in her milk, and how to be helpful in her classroom.
But there's one thing Jo Jo doesn't know how to do: be fancy. She has a lot to learn before her Aunt Annie's wedding!
Favorite purple unicorn notebook in hand, Jo Jo starts exploring her Ojibwe community to find ways to be fancy.
The Heartdrum imprint centers a wide range of intertribal voices, visions, and stories while welcoming all young readers, with an emphasis on the present and future of Indian Country and on the strength of young Native heroes. In partnership with We Need Diverse Books.
What happens when a hilarious first grader with a special notebook decides to teach herself to be fancy?
- Funny Female Protagonist: Meet Jo Jo Makoons, a seven-year-old Ojibwe girl whose literal take on the world--from hiding peas in her milk to her special method for crossing the street--will have young readers laughing out loud.
- First Grade Humor: Jo Jo takes on the challenges of first grade, from alphabet parades to confusing math problems, with her own unique and hilarious logic.
- Celebrating Ojibwe Culture: Discover a story that warmly weaves in Ojibwe and Michif words and traditions as Jo Jo explores her community to figure out the secrets to being fancy for her aunt's wedding.
- Learning to Be Yourself: A heartwarming message about finding your own special shine. Jo Jo learns that being fancy isn't about glitter and pinkies, but about being helpful and true to who you are.
