Cherokee Stickball is not at all like LaCrosse, but the basis of teamwork is much the same.
A good book for children of any heritage to learn about people born in North America. For adults it is a small insight into another culture and some of its ways. It is written in an essentially bilingual format. I really appreciated the read.
The illustrations by Joseph Erb are fun, simple, brilliantly colorful, and instructive.
Well suited for reading WITH someone of any age including ESL, and great for gifting to anyone, but especially to a school or your local public library!
