The verse-style writing in Fry Bread gives readers some information, but students must use carefully crafted words and illustrations to infer more of fry bread's history, tradition, and meaning. Award-winning illustrator Juana Martinez-Neal depicts fry bread in a way that helps bring Kevin Maillard's words to life and provides a deeper understanding and context for the text. Students will enjoy practicing their inference skills in this beautifully written and illustrated story.
