  1. 1. Brave

    Cover of 'Brave' by Weshoyot Alvitre

    A Native American boy grows his long hair and wears braids, cared for each morning by his father. Teased at school, he draws strength from family stories about ancestors who were forced to cut their hair and forbidden from practicing traditions. A tender, spoiler-free picture-book portrait of cultural heritage, identity, and resilience.
