In this third book in the acclaimed chapter book series written by author Dawn Quigley (Ojibwe) and illustrated by artist Tara Audibert (Wolastoqey), Jo Jo helps her family and friends and fosters a sense of community by organizing a community-wide winter Olympics.
Oh, snow day, snow day, what a very fun no-school day!

After a snowstorm shuts down her Ojibwe reservation, Jo Jo uses her big imagination and big personality to help both Elders and classmates alike. Because after all, being healthy means being together!
