Summer Reading Program
One Community, One Book
Our youngest two-year-olds to rising 8th-grade students will read (or have read to them!)
Chooch Helped by Andrea L. Rogers, illustrated by Rebecca Lee Kunz
Caldecott Gold Medal winner
This book was selected by the faculty.
Chooch Helped is a beautiful sibling story that centres around Native life and language. The touching narrative and its universal lesson are brought to life through Kunz’s powerful images, which make stunning use of collage to illustrate the children’s rich familial and cultural webs. Readers’ hearts will be warmed by Sissy and Chooch’s relationship and by the moving representation of Cherokee traditions.
