I love the concept of this, with all the characters from different tribes heading to the same powwow, and the little crossover elements (like the dog) appearing every once in a while.
All the stories were lovely and filled with so much light, it made my heart warm. I do have two favourites, however. Rez Dog Rules, and Joey Reads the Sky. The first one is no surprise, if something is told from the PoV of a dog I'm gonna love it. But the second put me on an emotional roller-coaster in just 20 minutes?? I'd actually love to see that one as a full book.
The narrators chosen for the audiobook were great, I had a really good time listening to this.
I'd recommend this to both kids and adults, for the latter it can be a little palette cleanser between heavier reads, it's such a joyful book.
