Ribbon Rescue (Revised Edition) - by Robert N Munsch (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Robert Munsch wrote this story for Jillian, a Mohawk girl from Kahnawake, who came to a storytelling wearing her new ribbon dress.

Shaikara David is an Indigenous artist from Akwesasne Mohawk Territory. She studied at Algonquin College and worked in animation before starting to illustrate picture books. For this book she was inspired by her own childhood ribbon dress and the generous and giving culture of her family and Mohawk people. Shaikara lives in Ottawa with her partner, two cats and an axolotl.
