When Charlotte finally grows out of her favorite moccasins (handmade by her grandma), she's devastated. But soon she realizes it gives her the perfect reason to hang out with Grandma and make a new pair! As Grandma lovingly measures, cuts, sews, and beads new mocassins, she and Charlotte share stories, lunch, and plenty of priceless time together. By the end of the day Charlotte's rocking brand new mocs, designed to beautifully represent the bond between her and Grandma.

This is such a sweet story and I absolutely love the illustration style. The back pages were also super informative about the history and creation process for moccasins!

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for providing me with a free eARC in exchange for an honest review.

A beautiful story about a girl and her grandma, working together on making new Moccasins for her. I learned a lot about the culture and what Moccasins are. The story is rich, emotional and expressive. I love the bond shown between the grandchild and grandmother and how the grandmother enrols the girl into taking on an advanced task of sewing the next time they have to make her new moccasins. The back matter shares more information about the history of moccasins. The art is gorgeous and expressive. I really enjoyed this story!

This is such a great picture book! I love the art and how it was so expressive. The story of Charlotte growing out of her moccasins and visiting her grandmother to see how they’re made and begin learning the practice of making moccasins was so great. I loved the design choice for beading on Charlotte’s new moccasins and how it came to be. All around this is a delightful picture book full of heart.

What a wonderful story about the importance of history, tradition and working with our environment. In this lovely book, Charlotte's grandma explains that we are all connected as she shares a special tradition of moccasin making with her granddaughter. I highly recommend this charming, informative story for schools, libraries, and families.
