Roses Are Red... But So Is Fry Bread: A Funny Indigenous Valentine's Story About Love, Family, and Mohawk Traditions (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798246693544)

Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
But love doesn't look the same in every home-and that's something to celebrate.

When a Mohawk boy named Ayon is asked to write a Valentine's poem, the familiar rhymes don't quite match the world he knows. Chocolate hearts and glittery cards feel small compared to the love around him-love that shows up as shared food, loud laughter, and traditions passed down at the kitchen table.

Through bold humor and playful twists on classic Valentine poems, Roses Are Red... But So Is Fry Bread offers a joyful, culturally grounded take on what love really means. This heartwarming Indigenous children's book reminds readers that love isn't just something you say-it's something you live.

Perfect for classrooms, families, and Valentine's Day reading, this story encourages kids to see that their own traditions, homes, and stories belong in books too.
