Caldecott Medal winner-2025
I borrowed and read this book since it won the Caldecott.
Sissy's two-year-old brother, Chooch, loves to "help" everyone in their Native American community. As she observes his disastrous help, Sissy becomes frustrated and irritated until she loses her temper with him and gets into trouble. Chooch helps. This time he really does help!
A realistic and sweet portrayal of family life I liked how the author included the pronunciation for the Cherokee words she incorporated into the text. The glossary in the back defines them.
The author and illustrator are both citizens of the Cherokee Nation. The author's and the artist's notes are interesting. Directions how to create a pinch pot are included.
-Borrowed from the library.
