Indigenous stories that flow... "Frybread Face and Me"; SHARDS OF SILENCE by Brian Young, cover art by Lynnette Haozous (Heartdrum, 2026); YÁADILÁ! (GOOD GRIEF!), by Laurel Goodluck and Jonathan Nelson; FOREVER COUSINS by Laurel Goodluck and Jonathan Nelson (Charlesbridge, 2022).

Indigenous stories that flow...

"Frybread Face and Me" from IMDB: "Two adolescent Navajo cousins from different worlds bond during a summer herding sheep on their grandmother's ranch in Arizona while learning more about their family's past and themselves." Watch on Netflix.

SHARDS OF SILENCE by Brian Young, cover art by Lynnette Haozous (Heartdrum, 2026). In his first YA novel, award-winning author Brian Lee Young (Diné) bridges the generational divide between a Navajo teen at an elite prep school and his great-grandmother’s experience at a federal boarding school for Indigenous students. The book is an eye-opening call for community healing and a profound coming-of-age story.

YÁADILÁ! (GOOD GRIEF!), by Laurel Goodluck and Jonathan Nelson (Diné)(Heartdrum, 2025). Ages 4-up. In this heartwarming and quintessentially Navajo (Diné) story, author Laurel Goodluck (Mandan, Hidatsa, and Tsimshian) and illustrator Jonathan Nelson (Diné) together show a big change for an Elder made easier with a creative gesture of love and care.

FOREVER COUSINS by Laurel Goodluck and Jonathan Nelson (Charlesbridge, 2022). Age 4-up. In this Native American story, Kara and Amanda are best-friend cousins. Then Kara leaves the city to move back to the Rez. Will their friendship stay the same? Native creators Laurel Goodluck and Jonathan Nelson share a sweet picture book with the universal experience of family and friends moving away.

The first light of day finds someone already crossing Prague’s Charles Bridge. The lamps still glow beneath the towers as morning slowly reveals the cobblestones. Just an everyday journey through a timeless place. ✨

Photo of the Day. 10/18/26. St. John the Baptist, Prague, Czechia. September 2023. Olympus E-M1X. #photooftheday #Olympus #OMSystems #CharlesBridge #Prague #Praha #Czechia #EastCoastKin #Stunday

The statue of St. John the Baptist holding a cross aloft is one of the many statues that line the Charles Bridge, which crosses the Vitava River in Prague. Sunrise adds to the yellow buildings on the other side of the river with Prague Castle high on the hill in the background.
