The Ribbon Skirt

Cameron Mukwa, illustrated by Cameron Mukwa

Ten-year-old Anang, a two-spirit, nonbinary Ojibwe child, wants to make a ribbon skirt for an upcoming powwow. In the Anishinaabe tradition, the garment is typically worn by girls, and Anang is unsure how others will respond. Determined to make it, Anang receives help from people and animals. Realistic details and fantasy elements appear in the graphic-panel artwork, with extensive back matter.
