Chooch Helped book

Go dog go cover

Closing time for tonight’s #pbchat - I recommend checking out this Caldecott Award-winning book.

Sorry for the scheduling conflicts this month - next month we are reading another all-time classic. Go, Dog. Go! Join us April 9th at 9pm e.

Rebecca Lee Kunz was not a children’s book illustrator before this - Author Andrea Rogers met her at Cherokee National Holiday. #pbchat

#pbchat Chooch Helped portrays indigenous Americans in a contemporary light, it has traditions and language unique to the culture, but also reflects any modern family’s life and dynamic.

30,000 copies were quickly published and given out for free to German children at the end of WW2. #pbchat

Ferdinand “was banned in many countries, including in Spain (where it remained banned until after Franco's death). In Nazi Germany, Adolf Hitler ordered the book burned (as ‘degenerate democratic propaganda’).” #pbchat

THE STORY OF FERDINAND has not been out of print since it was first published in 1936. It outsold Gone with the Wind to become the highest selling book of 1938. #pbchat
