(4) K-3 Illustrated by Joseph Erb. A boy with “a towering body” has trouble keeping up with his teammates in this story about stickball, a popular sport in Cherokee communities that resembles lacrosse and basketball. Despite Vann’s lack of speed, encouragement from his coach and fellow players gives him the confidence to assist in the winning play. Sorrell’s lively text is paired with Erb’s cartoonish digital illustrations with stylized proportions. A glossary of Tsalagi (Cherokee) words and author’s notes about the language and stickball are appended.
