When We Gather (Ostadahlisiha)

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Madelyn Goodnight. A contemporary girl describes all the tasks and details leading up to her Cherokee community’s wild onion dinner at the start of spring. From her grandmother stitching a tear dress to the girl tending the chickens to gathering the onions together as a family, then cooking, serving, and enjoying the meal at the community center, an appreciation for tradition, and the child’s thankfulness for abundance, comes through. Clear, colorful, digital-looking illustrations set a warm and congenial scene. An author’s note, three recipes, and a glossary are appended.
Reviewer: Elissa Gershowitz
