Show Notes
Katie Anvil Rich gives an engaging narration of a heartwarming middle grade audiobook that takes place over the course of a single day. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Emily Connelly discuss Christine Day’s newest quiet, thoughtful audiobook exploring identity and belonging. Rich captures Wesley’s nervous excitement for this year’s Indigenous People’s Day. She’s publishing a poem on the holiday in her middle school paper, and she’s going to ask her cute gaming club crush out to a school dance. When nothing goes as planned, she feels heartbroken and uncertain about her place in the world. Rich’s dynamic and youthful voice captures all of the ups and downs as Wesley finds loving support from her friends, her intergenerational family, and her community at an intertribal powwow.
