Chooch helped / by Andrea L. Rogers ; illustrated by Rebecca Lee Kunz.

Rogers, Andrea L., (author.). Kunz, Rebecca Lee, (illustrator.). Levine Querido, (publisher.).

Summary:

"Sissy's younger brother, Chooch, isn't a baby anymore. They just celebrated his second birthday, after all. But no matter what Chooch does -- even if he's messing something up, which is basically all the time! -- their parents say he's just "helping." Sissy feels that Chooch can get away with anything! When Elisi paints a mural, Chooch helps. When Edutsi makes grape dumplings, Chooch helps. When oginalii digs for crawdads, Chooch helps. When Sissy tries to make a clay pot, Chooch helps... "Hlesdi!" Sissy yells. Quit it! Chooch bursts into tears. What follows is a tender family moment that will resonate with anyone who has welcomed a new little one to the fold. Chooch Helped is a universal story of an older sibling learning to make space for a new child, told with grace by Andrea L. Rogers and stunning collage art from Rebecca Lee Kunz, and showing one Cherokee family immersing themselves in their cultural traditions" --Front sleeve.
