A) The age range for this book K-2
B)The story starts with a family making fry bread and then explores all of the ways the fry bread is important, while discussing important aspects of the Native American culture.
C) I would use this book as a read aloud to represent the Native American culture and show how bread is symbolic and fulfilling in many aspects of their culture.

This book would be great for early learners, maybe 1st-3rd due to the simplicity of the plot
