In this happy, vibrant tribute to Rock Your Mocs Day, observed yearly
on November 15, author Laurel Goodluck (Mandan, Hidatsa, and Tsimshian)
and artist Madelyn Goodnight (Chickasaw) celebrate the joy and
power of wearing moccasins--and the Native pride that comes with them. A
perfect book for Native American Heritage Month, and all year round!
We're stepping out
and kicking it up.
Wearing beauty on their feet--
as art, as tradition,
with style, with pride--
kids from different Native Nations know
every day is a day to ROCK YOUR MOCS!
This book contains an author's note with additional information about
moccasins and Rock Your Mocs day, for readers curious to learn more
about intertribal pride and the joy found in different Native
identities! Rock Your Mocs Day has now been extended to a week in
November, and during that week, kids from all over the United States
join together to show pride in their heritage.
