Josie Dances by Denise Lajimodiere

4.0

In order to dance in the next year's powwow, Josie asks the women in her Ojibwa family - mom, aunty, and Grandma Greatwalker - to help create her regalia. Over the course of the year, they work on her regalia while Josie practices her dance. There are beautiful watercolor illustrations throughout, including the end papers. I read this after reading Ancestor Approved and wanted to know more about jingle dancing. Pair it with Cynthia Leitich Smith's picture book Jingle Dancer.
