Rebecca mentions the following books that she has read to date: When My Brother Was an Aztec by Natalie Diaz; Tilly and the Crazy Eights by Monique Gray Smith; Jonny Appleseed by Joshua Whitehead; and Fry Bread: A Native American Family Story by Kevin Noble Maillard. She also highlights Native American storyteller, Pun Plamondon's "Fathers & Figures" on YouTube.
