Rock Your Mocs

For Rock Your Mocs Day, Indigenous children wear moccasins while taking part in everyday activities. Alyssa’s beaded moccasins shine; Maria dances in hers, Riley skateboards in his, and Tristen plays tag. The book describes moccasins as artworks made from materials including deer, elk, moose, or seal, and shows how styles, colors, and designs vary. It also presents them as traditional items gifted to babies, fitted for older children, and passed through generations as a cultural skill and connection to the past.
