The story follows Bizzy as she prepares for a Pomo summer gathering, only to face a meltdown when her handmade regalia feels like a failure. Through the gentle guidance of her multigenerational family, Bizzy learns that mistakes are part of the process and that the joy of participation outweighs the need for perfection. This charming, humorous book is perfect for ages 4 to 8, offering a culturally rich mirror for Indigenous families and a window into Pomo traditions for others, while centering on the universal emotional work of building resilience.
