Told over the course of a day, Wesley Wilder is a typical seventh grader, navigating friendships, crushes, a love for gaming and her family. Though, one trait differentiates her from most kids at her school - her indigenous roots. Wesley is proud of her single mom, her ancestry and herself. But she is nervous when she publishes her first piece in the school newspaper, a poem about Indigenous People’s Day. Just when she thinks the day went awry, Wesley is delighted to encounter two unexpected attendees at the evening powwow. This book is one to be celebrated!
