    A thoughtful and heartfelt middle grade novel by American Indian Youth Literature Honor–winning author Christine Day (Upper Skagit), about a girl whose hopeful plans for Indigenous Peoples’ Day (and plans to ask her crush to the school dance) go all wrong—until she finds herself surrounded by the love of her Indigenous family and community at an intertribal powwow. 
    Wesley is proud of the poem she wrote for Indigenous Peoples’ Day—but the reaction from a teacher makes her wonder if expressing herself is important enough. And due to the specific tribal laws of her family’s Nation, Wesley is unable to enroll in the Upper Skagit tribe and is left feeling “not Native enough.” Through the course of the novel, with the help of her family and friends, she comes to embrace her own place within the Native community. 
    Christine Day's debut, I Can Make This Promise, was an American Indian Library Association Youth Literature Award Honor Book, was named a Best Book of the Year by Kirkus, School Library Journal, the Chicago Public Library, and NPR, and was also picked as a Charlotte Huck Honor Book. Her sophomore novel, The Sea in Winter, was an American Indian Library Association Youth Literature Award Honor Book, as well as named a Best Book of the Year by Kirkus and School Library Journal.

When Tucker learns that Sonnie feels we neglected, he embarks on a mission for children to see Sonnie differently, hoping it will cheer up his doggie friend.

    Swimming is easy for Teensie. Not so much for Melinda and her Father. While they discuss the difficulties they are having with their SCUBA lessons, he must advocate for himself to get out of the plastic baggie and into a proper travel tank. 
    A message from Teensie: 
    Being in a tank has its advantages. Primarily, people forget that I’m there. I mean, let’s be realistic for a moment, even when they do remember I’m around, they don’t see me as a threat. 
    I’m just a harmless goldfish. 
    But that’s not my full story. See, I’m more than just a goldfish. I can talk - and the people I talk to can understand me. 
    I live with an amazing family, Melinda and her father, who are doing everything they can do to keep me safe and give me the life I dream about. 
    Melinda has her books, and I have mine. This is my side of the story. In Tales From the Tank you’ll hear about what actually goes on in the Longers' home, and out in the community! 
    Come with me, and let me take you underwater to experience the adventure my way! 
    From Porsche Ray: 
    This short story is Season 1: Episode 3 of Tales From the Tank - short stories that take place within the full-size novels. Season 1 matches up with Book 1 of the MELINDA series, “Melinda and Her Father Go Scuba Diving". 
    These stories contain bonus content NOT included in the novels, but the storyline does run parallel to what you will see in the larger books. 
    Like all books in the MELINDA series, the content is safe, fun, and absolutely age-appropriate.
