Reviews
* "[A] powerful impact on young readers..." -- Booklist , starred review * "[A] moving and wholly original story about the intersection of cultures... Many of the illustrations serve essentially as portraits, and they're utterly mesmerizing--strong, solid figures gaze squarely out of the frame, beseeching readers to listen, empathize and wonder." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review * "[I]nspiring tale... very highly recommended for all young readers as a celebration of diversity, acceptance, and unity in a remarkable production of expert authorship and invaluable illustrations." -- Midwest Book Review , starred review "This is a lovely story and beautifully illustrated." -- School Library Journal American Indian Youth Literature Award, American Indian Library Association (AILA) Notable Children's Book, Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) Jane Addams Peace Award Honor Book, American Library Association (ALA) Skipping Stones Honor Award, Skipping Stones Magazine Lasting Connection Title, Book Links Paterson Prize for Books for Young People, The Poetry Center at Passaic County Community College Texas Bluebonnet Masterlist, Texas Library Association (TLA) Oklahoma Book Award for Best Children's Book, Oklahoma Center for the Book Oklahoma Book Award for Best Illustrations, Oklahoma Center for the Book Prairie Pasque Children's Book Award Nominee, South Dakota Library Association The Anne Izard Storytellers' Choice Award, Westchester Library Association Teddy Award, Texas Writers League Best Children's Book, Texas Institute of Letters (TIL), "In a picture book that highlights rarely discussed intersections between Native Americans in the South and African Americans in bondage, a noted Choctaw storyteller and Cherokee artist join forces with stirring results... the story [has a] powerful impact on young readers." -- Booklist , starred review " Crossing Bok Chitto ... tells a tale with a happier ending, but its journey is no less a departure from the narrative of American uplift. In literature for children, this is a lesson as old as the Grimms. But these realities cut deeper than any fantasy." -- The New York Times "Tingle is a performing storyteller, and his text has the rhythm and grace of that oral tradition. It will be easily and effectively read aloud. The paintings are dark and solemn, and the artist has done a wonderful job of depicting all of the characters as individuals, with many of them looking out of the page right at readers." -- School Library Journal "A moving and wholly original story about the intersection of cultures...Bridges creates mural-like paintings with a rock-solid spirituality and stripped-down graphic sensibility, the ideal match for the down-to-earth cadences and poetic drama of the text." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review " Crossing Bok Chitto is very highly recommended for all young readers as a celebration of diversity, acceptance, and unity in a remarkable production of expert authorship and invaluable illustrations." -- Midwest Book Review , starred review "A very moving story about friends helping each other and reveals a lesser-known part of American History: Native Americans helped runaway slaves...While, this is a picture book; it would make a wonderful read-aloud for middle elementary students." -- Children's Literature, * "[A] powerful impact on young readers. . ." -- Booklist , starred review * "[A] moving and wholly original story about the intersection of cultures. . .
