[Ages 7-12] Welcome Bookmark Bunch! "Jo Jo Makoons: The Used-to-Be Best Friend" by Dawn Quigley.

Jo Jo Makoons Azure is a spirited seven-year-old who moves through the world a little differently than anyone else on her Ojibwe reservation. It always seems like her mom, her kokum (grandma), and her teacher have a lot to learn—about how good Jo Jo is at cleaning up, what makes a good rhyme, and what it means to be friendly.

Even though Jo Jo loves her #1 best friend Mimi (who is a cat), she’s worried that she needs to figure out how to make more friends. Because Fern, her best friend at school, may not want to be friends anymore…

Join us in reading the first chapter of this adventure. Then we will do an activity. The book is yours to take home to cozy up and finish.
