By (author): Tasha Spillett

Illustrated by: Donovan Yaciuk, Natasha Donovan

Dezs grandmother has passed away. Grieving, and with nowhere else to go, theyre living in a group home. On top of everything else, Dez is navigating a new relationship and coming into their identity as a Two-Spirit person.

Miikwan is crushing on the schools new kid Riel, but doesnt really understand what Dez is going through. Will she learn how to be a supportive ally to her best friend?

Elder Geraldine is doing her best to be supportive, but she doesnt know how to respond when the gendered protocols shes grown up with are being thrown into question.

Will Dez be comfortable expressing their full identity? And will their community relearn the teachings and overcome prejudice to celebrate them for who they are?
