Una niña Cherokee le presenta a su hermano menor las tradiciones de su familia (¡a regañadientes!) en un sincero álbum ilustrado lleno de ilustraciones maravillosas en collage de la ilustradora debutante Rebecca Lee Kunz.
Mejor del año: Kirkus • Cooperative Children's Book Center
Chooch, el hermano menor de Sissy, ya no es un bebé. Recién cumplió dos años. No importa lo que haga Chooch, incluso cuando desarregla las cosas —¡lo cual pasa todo el tiempo!— sus padres solo dicen que está “ayudando”. A Sissy le parece que nunca hay consecuencias para Chooch.
Cuando Elisi pinta un mural, Chooch ayuda. Cuando Edutsi prepara bolas de masa de uva, Chooch ayuda. Cuando oginalii pesca con lanza los cangrejos de río, Chooch ayuda. Cuando Sissy intenta formar una vasija de barro, Chooch ayuda...
“¡Hlesdi!” le grita Sissy. ¡Ya basta! Y Chooch estalla en lágrimas. Lo que sigue es un momento tierno en familia que resonará con cualquiera que haya tomado bajo el ala a un nuevo crío. Chooch ayudó cuenta la historia de una hermana mayor aprendiendo a aceptar un nuevo hermano, narrado con elegancia por Andrea L. Rogers y con arte en collage extraordinario de Rebecca Lee Kunz, y muestra como una familia Cherokee se inmersa en sus tradiciones culturales.

A Cherokee girl introduces her younger brother to their family's traditions — begrudgingly! — in this Caldecott Medal winning picture book written by Walter Award-winner Andrea L. Rogers and featuring gorgeous collage illustrations from debut artist Rebecca Lee Kunz.
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 gigs for crawdads, Chooch helps. When Sissy tries to make a clay pot, Chooch helps . . .
"Hesdi!" Sissy yells. Quit it! And 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 art from Rebecca Lee Kunz showing one Cherokee family practicing their cultural traditions.
P R A I S E
★ "The touching narrative and its universal lesson are brought to life through Kunz's powerful images, which make stunning use of collage to illustrate the children's rich familial and cultural webs. Readers' hearts will be warmed by Sissy and Chooch’s relationship and by the moving representation of Cherokee traditions. Native life and language are at the center of this beautiful sibling story." —Kirkus (starred
★ "Kunz's phenomenal illustrations bring a cleverly spare text to being... Gorgeous and heartfelt in its simplicity, this book deserves a spot on the shelf alongside Goade's Berry Song and Flett's We All Play." —Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred)
★ "Tender... powerful." —Publishers Weekly (starred)
"[Chooch Helped] highlights the joys and challenges that many older siblings face as the baby of the family grows up and begins to mimic them. Kunz’s striking mixed-media art complements this loving family story." —The Horn Book
"The artwork is warm and flushed, almost like a heart pulsing from the warmth of inclusion and support... This recommended story reminds readers how they could lead by example for those who are curious and want to also be included in the joys of life, be it miniscule chores or creating art." —School Library Journal
"Siblings everywhere will recognize themselves in this universal story of family dynamics... A warm, welcome addition to a growing body of work portraying contemporary Native families celebrating their heritage and living full, multidimensional lives." —Booklist
