Description

A young girl spends the summer at her grandmother's home on the Standing Rock Reservation in this illustrated, heartwarming family story from acclaimed, award-winning author-artist S. D. Nelson. Winner of the Western Writers of America Spur Award for Children's Picture Book Now that Clara is almost in third grade, she's finally old enough to spend her first summer away from home visiting her grandma, Unci, and her cousin at their home in Standing Rock Reservation. To welcome her visit, Uncle Louie brings an extra-special surprise in his pickup truck: the tipi that's been passed down through their family for generations. The girls learn how to stack the poles and wrap the canvas covering around them, how to paint spirit pictures on its walls, and how the circle of the tipi tells its own story, reminding us how to live in the great Circle of Life.


  • Our Story

    At Grace & Joy, we believe clothing should do more than just look beautiful—it should make you feel something.

    What began as a small, family dream has grown into something far more meaningful. My mom built this store with heart, creativity, and a deep love for helping women feel confident in what they wear. She had an eye for beauty and a gift for making people feel seen.

    In a matter of hours, everything changed. My mom—who was also my best friend—became suddenly and critically ill. While navigating life as a new mother, I stepped in to carry forward what she started.

    Today, my sister Lilly and I continue her legacy together.

    We work closely with artisans and small family makers around the world, many of whom my mom and Lilly met while traveling through Southeast Asia—building relationships, not just sourcing products. Every piece in our store is thoughtfully chosen to reflect that same spirit: effortless, beautiful, and made with intention.

    Grace & Joy is more than a boutique to us—it’s a continuation of her story.

    And we’re so grateful to share it with you.
