What's in a Bead?

Cover of What's in a Bead?
Tessa loves how her grandmother always smells of campfire stories. Mom says it's because Kohkom spends her days sewing beautiful beads onto smoked hides. Inspired, Tessa asks Kohkom to teach her beading, but first she must listen and learn about the many stories a bead holds.

I'm the lucky librarian who gets to choose all the library's kids, teen and audiovisual materials. That means I read reviews for a living and my "to read" list is never-ending! When I'm not reading kids books, I dive into culinary cozies and thrillers. I'm a runner who loves to bake, and I'm a Disney kid at heart.
