A brief, thoughtful, accessible, and beautifully illustrated introduction to the MMIW Movement for adults, teens, and maybe even preteens. The strong close friendship between the two main characters brings warmth to an otherwise heavy topic. The unspoken presence of ghost-like figures is a subtle and effective way to remind readers of the constant threats, both historical and present day, to indigenous women, while the story line is intentional about focusing on the strengths and perseverance of indigenous women. I’ll definitely be looking for the second installment in the series, which addresses Two-Spirit identity.
