Written by Cherokee Nation tribal members, this fast-paced story follows a game of social stickball played by children from two Cherokee communities in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, the capital of the Cherokee Nation. Interspersed with the exciting play-by-play of the game is the Tsalagi language (called Cherokee in English) which reflects the importance of keeping the language alive.
Vann loves his tribal game but he isn’t as skilled as his teammates. With the coach’s encouragement to work together—gadugi—an important Cherokee value, and the help of his best friend Jesse, Vann overcomes his self doubt in this uplifting story of team spirit and collaboration.
Includes a Tsalagi glossary and notes about stickball and language.
