Sequoyah: The Cherokee Man Who Gave His People Writing

32 pp. | Houghton | November, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-618-36947-3 $16.00
(1) K-3 This bilingual picture book tells how Sequoyah, a Cherokee, developed a syllabic system of writing for his nation. The simple story is a quick sketch, and Rumford clearly indicates the speculative nature of what is actually known. Textured full-page mixed-media illustrations feature strong figures and spare scenes. The handsome book concludes with the full syllabary, an author's note, and a timeline.
