Focusing on the Cherokee word <em>otsaliheliga<\/em> which represents gratitude, we see all the ways that one might use it in their culture. Sorell provides the phonetic spelling of each Cherokee word, as well as a list of definitions and a syllabary at the end, providing a great introduction to the traditions and language.<\/p>\n<p>Through the depictions of Cherokee food, games, and holidays, young children may explore gratefulness and what it means to be thankful in other cultures. This is a perfect read for Native American Heritage Month, and a great, modern introduction to the Cherokee culture, providing children a way to connect and learn more about the heritage.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/uclid.uc.edu\/record=b6740111~S39\"><em>We<\/em><em> Are Grateful: Otsaliheliga<\/em><\/a> is available from CECH Library,\u00a0as well as the OhioLINK and Search Ohio lending networks.<\/p>\n<p>Review by Alyssa Gruich, CECH Library Student Assistant | Political Science, A&amp;S 2022<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Collection Spotlight highlights titles in the the CECH Library&#8217;s Kretschmer Collection of Native American Children&#8217;s Literature.
