Bookmarked: Your next reads from Senator Mary Kunesh

If there’s one thing that we love to talk about on the Books are Good Medicine podcast, it’s a good book! In today’s special episode, we welcome Minnesota State Senator Mary Kunesh, a descendant of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. As a former library media specialist for nearly 20 years, she has a lot of experience reading and selecting books for different grade levels. Senator Kunesh joins us to share a list of great Native books she enjoys, wants to read or recommends for school-aged children.
