Crickets and a crackling campfire greet listeners at the start of this children’s audiobook centered around otsaliheliga, “we are grateful.” Cherokee pronunciations and vocabulary are beautifully rendered for listeners as five narrators take turns telling the story of families celebrating and honoring ancestors throughout the year. Listening to the audiobook with the picture book is ideal to appreciate this charming and important work which will appeal to young listeners. Published by Live Oak Media.
