At the Mountain's Base (Cherokee edition)
At the Mountain's Base (Cherokee edition) | Traci Sorell
5 posts | 4 read | 1 to read
A family, separated by duty and distance, waits for a loved one to return home in this lyrical picture book celebrating the bonds of a Cherokee family and the bravery of history-making women pilots. Now available in Cherokee. At the mountain's base sits a cabin under an old hickory tree. And in that cabin lives a family -- loving, weaving, cooking, and singing. The strength in their song sustains them through trials on the ground and in the sky, as they wait for their loved one, a pilot, to return from war. With an author's note that pays homage to the true history of Native American U.S. service members like WWII pilot Ola Mildred "Millie" Rexroat, this is a story that reveals the roots that ground us, the dreams that help us soar, and the people and traditions that hold us up.

#HauntsAndHexes Day 22: This picturebook weaves #Spell(s) Of Song And Prayer For Protection. Told in verse, this is a powerful depiction of womanity coming together in quiet song, prayer, and poetry for protection and deliverance. My full review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-mfI

Beautiful illustrations. This picture book about military service of Cherokee women left me wanting more.

This book is a poem about a Cherokee family waiting for one of their own (a granddaughter) to return from being a pilot in the war. That was cool, but then the Authors Note at the end added so much new context and history, that it made me feel like the rest of the book missed its mark a bit. #bbrc #atoz:A

Butterfinger I think I have completely messed up and I hope you and @LibrarianRyan can help me. I can't access my original form for BBRC. Can you send it back to me or share it or should I start a new one? I feel like such a dummy for losing my email. 5y
