Review Quotes

"Goodluck emphasizes the variety of styles and names given to moccasins (reflecting available materials, climate requirements, and languages) and encourages children to celebrate their Indigenous identities. Goodnight makes use of transparent, faded figures to depict ancestors and traditional lore, clearly delineating contemporary children and events from the past." - Booklist

"With each page turn, readers learn more about the significance of mocs: They are works of art, repositories of cultural knowledge, and, above all, a way to "honor our deep-rooted traditions while adapting to our sacred present." Both informative and inspiring, Goodluck's (Mandan/Hidatsa) text is concise. The upbeat tone is echoed in Goodnight's (Chickasaw Nation) bright illustrations, which feature people in urban, suburban, and rural landscapes. Joyfully inspiring." - Kirkus Reviews

"Goodluck and Goodnight highlight a First Nation tradition through their words and whimsical illustrations. A good choice for all picture book shelves." - School Library Journal
