A wonderful collection of important indigenous men and women throughout history who may not have received as much recognition as they deserved. I loved the illustrations, lyrics, and heartfelt biographies that serve to educate and inspire the reader. I highly recommend this book for schools and libraries.

I was given this ARC on Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
The illustrations in this book are amazing. They use vibrant colors and show a unique art style that is both informative and beautiful. I appreciated how the book highlights important indigenous people throughout history. I think that having the writing written in verse made it lose some of the context. The rhyming felt forced. It gave me more questions than answers. I would have appreciated a small blurb on each page about the important figures. I wanted to know more about what contributions each person made and when, their tribes/background, and what part of North America they hail from, etc.

Gorgeous! The words beg to be read aloud. You can get lost in the illustrations.- so beautiful As I read, I was hoping there would be biographies of the people mentioned. It was such a wonderful read. I cannot wait to share this with others.

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. A gorgeous picture book celebrating indigenous tribes.

A really interesting way in to finding out more about indigenous peoples and their contributions to making a better world for all.
The illustrations are lovely and the mini bios at the end are a great way of accessing more information about the people featured.
On the back of having read this book, I'll definitely be finding out more about some of the heroes.
Thanks to #NetGalley for the ARC.

"So you can be you."

Told with rhythm and rhyme, this picture book highlights the remarkable achievements and feats of indigenous people throughout history. With breathtaking illustrations, the reader is transported throughout North America to gain a deeper understanding of history and the indigenous people who have shaped it.

This is a great picture book to add to libraries and personal collections. I am adding it to my order list for this coming school year.

Thank you to Tundra Book Group, Tundra Books, and Net Galley for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

This picture book explored the lives of over a dozen indigenous heroes. It was great to hear their stories and see their likeness.

A loving tribute in verse to some lesser recognized (but no less amazing!) Indigenous heroes from past and present. This is truly a beautiful sentiment alongside powerful, gorgeously done illustrations -- a necessary addition to any children's library!

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for providing me with a free eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Magnificent artwork accompanies the powerful phrase @We are who we are”. People from the past are honored throughout. Dedicated biographies are included in the back.
