‘Fry Bread’ is the top-seller on Amazon’s children's Native American Books list When Kevin Maillard, Seminole Nation of Oklahoma, became a parent, he looked around the children’s book landscape and noticed there were very few written about Native people today. In fact, he said when he first started thinking about writing a children’s book in 2012, only six out of 3,600 were by or written about Native people.
