There’s a new virus making people sick, and Malian will have to stay with her grandparents for the duration.Everyone is worried about the pandemic, but Malian knows how to keep her family safe: She protects her grandparents, and they protect her. She doesn’t go out to play with friends, she helps her grandparents use video chat, and she listens to and learns from their stories. And when Malsum, one of the dogs living on the rez, shows up at their door, Malian’s family knows that he’ll protect them too.Told in verse inspired by oral storytelling, this novel about the COVID-19 pandemic highlights the ways in which Indigenous nations and communities cared for one another through plagues of the past, and how they keep caring for one another today.**Four starred reviews!**Boston Globe-Horn Book Fiction & Poetry HonorNPR Books We LoveKirkus Reviews Best BooksSchool Library Journal Best BooksChicago Public Library Best Fiction for Younger ReadersJane Addams Children’s Book Award FinalistNerdy Book Club Award—Best Poetry and Novels in Verse
