[Review] Clack, Clack! Smack! A Cherokee Stickball Story by Traci Sorell

Published on 18 February 2024 at 08:29

A simple and quick story about a little known sport. The art was a bit too basic and somewhat off-putting, but I love seeing Indigenous cultures represented in literature.

 

Some of the Tsalagi (Cherokee) words are unclear within the context of the story; however, there is a handy glossary in the back that shows the Tsalagi syllabary, the English translation, the pronunciation, and the meaning.

 

Note: I received this book as an ARC. It is scheduled to be published August 6, 2024.
