"""Loaf, a feline protagonist, follows her Ojibwe-cued caretaker, Charlie, to a powwow in this simply told picture book. Fond of rubber bands, paper bags, and ribbon, Loaf takes note when 'my boy started putting all these ribbons on his clothes.' . . . In an animated picture book debut, Anishinaabe author DeShaw walks readers through the powwow's Grand Entry, told through the perspective of Loaf the cat. . . . Audibert (the Jo Jo Makoons series), of Wolastoqiyik and French heritage, aptly capture the energy of a cat at play and a boy taking part in the powwow--and the two displaying affection for each other."" --Publishers Weekly"
