Description
Jenna, a contemporary Muscogee (Creek) girl in Oklahoma, is determined to honor a cherished family tradition by learning to jingle dance for the next powwow. As she searches for the right way to make her dress sing with jingles, she discovers that community, creativity, and family support can turn a challenge into a celebration. Woven through her journey are themes of cultural pride, intergenerational knowledge, and the meaning of honoring heritage in everyday life. With lyrical warmth and accessible storytelling, this picture book pairs Cynthia Leitich Smith’s engaging voice with Cornelius Van Wright and Ying-Hwa Hu’s evocative watercolor art to bring the powwow spirit vividly to the page.
