Using age-appropriate and empathetic language, Tess’s Red Dress introduces young children to Red Dress Day and the importance of remembering the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit People.

Four-year-old Tess is excited to welcome her new baby sibling into the world! She asks her mom what it was like growing up with a sibling. Tess’s mom tells her stories about baking in the kitchen, singing loudly in the bathtub, sharing a bedroom, and braiding her sister’s hair.

Despite their excitement over their growing family, they have experienced loss: her Auntie is one of the missing. The loss of any family member makes a drastic change for those left behind and the generations to come. As the family gets ready for the Red Dress Day march, Tess's mom and dad show her how to honour her Auntie by wearing her red dress and keeping the stories and memories of her family alive.

Backmatter pages include resources to support parents and educators through this important and difficult conversation with their children.

“Tess’s Red Dress brings gentle but profound insight into the impacts of MMIWG2S on children and families. This book offers an intimate glimpse into the unbreakable bonds of care and connection between generations and a resolute lesson in standing up to speak out against injustice.” 

- Jaime Black Morsette (founder of Red Dress Project)

“Red Dress Day is a significant day of grief for First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities. While it's difficult to put into words in a gentle way suitable for children, Carolyn Roberts accomplishes this beautifully. She honours and celebrates the gifts and beauty of the Indigenous women taken from their communities, weaving in a tender story of young Tess, her mother, and the strong presence of her lost Auntie, who is remembered lovingly in their home and community. Roberts emphasizes the resilient spirits of these women, their strength, and the love they shared for their families and communities, while softly sharing the heartbreak, grief, and loss their loved ones endured, along with the dark history experienced by Indigenous people in Canada. This book should be in every home on Turtle Island, and we must continue to keep working to end the ongoing and unwarranted violence against Indigenous women, children, and 2-Spirited peoples.”

- Jenna Jasek, Director of Indigenous Learning at the Outdoor Learning School & Store (Secwépemc & Ktunaxa)                               

“What a beautiful story by Carolyn Roberts that comes to life through the illustrations of Kelsey Mata Foote. This book eloquently weaves story, information and love in a way that is both rare and exquisite. A wonderful addition to any bookshelf and library.”

 - Monique Gray Smith, Author of My Heart Fills with Happiness and Sharing the Light.                                  

“Tess’s Red Dress is a wonderfully heartfelt story that is an essential resource for both healing and learning. Carolyn Roberts has given us a strong and kind family that many Indigenous people will relate with. I saw my own family and our experiences on these vibrant pages, and I know my children will embrace this book to honour their relatives and community. It will take a special place on our shelf for years to come.”

- Waubgeshig Rice (Waub)

“Tess's Red Dress is a tender, courageous story about family, love, and the power of remembering. Through gentle moments of everyday life, Carolyn weaves in themes of resilience, voice, and truth with such care and grace. She honours the family dynamic of so many Indigenous families in this country and around the world who are faced with similar circumstances and also provides educators with a beautiful entry point into, what can be, a sensitive topic. This picture book is a stunning and deeply important debut, one that opens hearts and invites meaningful conversation across generations. The illustrator has done an exquisite job of capturing the essence of this story and I cannot commend them enough for their vision and artistry. This book is an essential addition to classrooms, homes, and community spaces everywhere!” 

- Leona Prince, Author

Purchased for the new iPad Pro size 11 inches
Color: Pine Green
I have a feeling that the people having issues may have the older model of iPad Pro! For the new model currently sold by Apple, the fit is good. The magnets & keyboard work perfectly. This is a great deal considering a lot of cases and keyboards cost just as much separately.

A bit disappointed
Color: Pine Green
Needed a new cover for my Ipad 11. This product had a good price, options for colors (I picked the green) and shipping was fast. When it arrived out of the box I was disappointed. Putting my Ipad 11 into the case was a bit harder than I expected. Once in, either the top or the bottom would not sat seated in the case. The backlight is nice, but you have to charge the keypad and ipad separately. I returned this because you have to physically move the keyboard to either use it or close the case or get the Ipad to stand. So, when closed the keypad sits right under the Ipad screen. When you open the case and want the ipad to stand, you have to physically slide the keyboard towards you or down to the bottom of the case. This then allows you to fold the upper portion and stand the ipad upright. You have to reverse this to actually close the case. What all this means is two things for me...this setup takes more deskstop space and a few more movements to get everything setup.

Highly recommend!
Color: Pine Green
I love the color, the feel, the weight, the functionality, all of it. The keyboard connects so easily and even has instructions on the back for enabling certain functions. I like that the mouse pad actually works, and well, and I can easily take notes as I would a laptop. I kind of want to buy another as a backup, just in case, because I love this so much! Oh, and battery life is great on the keyboard! I made it through a week long conference on a single charge.

Very Plastic Feeling and WILL Scratch or Break Your Screen Eventually
Color: Pine Green
TL;DR: (To Long Didn't Read) Keyboard: Really Flimsy Plastic, Comes in DIRECT Contact with Screen, WILL Scratch and or Break Screen Case: Makes iPad Fatter and Bigger than a normal Business Folio, outer layer has nice rubber feel, When closed it does not turn off your screen. I have the Magic Keyboard for my New Ipad Pro 11 inch M4 and my largest complaint is that you can't fold it down and use it in "normal" Tablet mode. I wanted to get something that would let me keep it in a case and use it in a flat mode to draw or play games. I stumbled upon this and was super excited. It has a wireless keyboard and could fold in a lot of ways. I was WAY WRONG. The keyboard is nothing but cheap hard plastic and is very flimsy and comes in DIRECT contact with the screen which will eventually either scratch or break your screen. When closed and folded it makes your SUPER THIN tablet larger and thicker than MOST Business Folios. It also does not turn your screen off. I will give this product 2 stars because the case itself feels really good on the hands. They used a rubber material that Apple uses on their Smart Folio Covers for their iPad. Also, the product idea itself is amazing just very poor build quality and not protection for your screen. I guess that is what you get for your $30.00

Great product!
Color: Dark Cherry
Was nervous after reading reviews but I have had zero issues with this product. I actually really like it and have gotten so many compliments on the color and versatility of it. The charge on the keyboard lasts so long and the led colors are super fun for those late night study sessions or homework cramming. The case also works great on its own without the keyboard, k like that it wraps around the iPad completely.
