Requirements: epub reader, 5.1MB
Overview: A thoughtful and heartfelt middle grade novel by American Indian Youth Literature Honor–winning author Christine Day (Upper Skagit), about a girl whose hopeful plans for Indigenous Peoples’ Day (and plans to ask her crush to the school dance) go all wrong—until she finds herself surrounded by the love of her Indigenous family and community at an intertribal powwow.
Wesley is proud of the poem she wrote for Indigenous Peoples’ Day—but the reaction from a teacher makes her wonder if expressing herself is important enough. And due to the specific tribal laws of her family’s Nation, Wesley is unable to enroll in the Upper Skagit tribe and is left feeling “not Native enough.”
Through the course of the novel, with the help of her family and friends, she comes to embrace her own place within the Native community. Christine Day’s debut, I Can Make This Promise , was an American Indian Library Association Youth Literature Award Honor Book, was named a Best Book of the Year by Kirkus , School Library Journal , the Chicago Public Library, and NPR, and was also picked as a Charlotte Huck Honor Book.
