At Wrapped in Foil blog<\/a> we are featuring a perfect book to share this week, We Are Grateful: Otsaliheliga <\/em>by Traci Sorell and illustrated by Fran\u00e9 Lessac.
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Members of the Cherokee Nation say the word otsaliheliga<\/em> to express gratitude. They use it as a reminder not just for one celebration or day, but throughout the year. Starting in autumn and moving through winter, spring and summer,\u00a0Traci Sorell describes the weather\/environment for each season, reveals celebrations that occur during that time of year, and describes special activities and foods that bind families together.<\/p>\n

The back matter is a must read. It gives a deeper explanation of some of the terms used, explains the author\u2019s source materials \u2013and how other books have got things wrong \u2014 and tells the story of a man named Sequoyah developed the Cherokee written language in the early 1800s.<\/p>\n

We Are Grateful: Otsaliheliga<\/em> is a wonderful book that is hard to describe. It has things to offer that readers might not even know they want or need. Pick up a copy and you will be glad you did.<\/p>\n

See the blog<\/a> for more details and an activity suggestion.<\/p>\n
