Summary
Raven loves Round Dances. The drums sing to the people. The people dance to the music. Raven's favorite part is to watch the ribbon skirts, swirling like a rainbow. He wishes he could have a ribbon skirt of his own,… but his grandmother has never seen a boy wearing one. What will happen to Raven's dream? In the spirit of celebrated books like Julián is a Mermaid, Raven's Ribbons is a moving intergenerational story celebrating identity, self-expression, and the realization that even within our traditions, there is room for beautiful reinvention.
