Description
A joyful coming-of-age middle-grade graphic novel by debut Indigenous creator Cameron Mukwa about the journey of a two-spirit kid who wants to create a ribbon skirt for the upcoming powwow.Ten-year-old Anang wants to make a ribbon skirt, a piece of clothing typically worn by girls in the Anishinaabe tradition, for an upcoming powwow. Anang is two-spirit and nonbinary and doesn’t know what others will think of them wearing a ribbon skirt, but they're determined to follow their heart’s desire. Anang sets off to gather the materials needed to make the skirt and turns to those around them -- their family, their human and turtle friends, the crows, and even the lake itself -- for help. And maybe they’ll even find a new confidence within themself along the way.

Both moving graphic novels star Indigenous tweens whose identities inspire them to engage with their heritage in ways most meaningful to them, despite tension and misunderstandings. Mia of Two Tribes is Jewish and Muscogee; Ribbon Skirt's Anang is two-spirit and Ojibwe. -- Basia Wilson
Inventive artwork in Rabbit Chase depicts a dreamlike world different than Ribbon Skirt's grounded setting, yet both colorful comics star Indigenous nonbinary tweens on a moving quest that propels them toward self-discovery. -- Basia Wilson
