New nonfiction picture book by Choctaw author (information)

Good morning!

Stung by a bee! Hit with a rock...

Over the last few days, I've thought a lot about SALTYPIE, a new nonfiction picture book by Choctaw author, Tim Tingle. Some of you may have seen him perform, as he is also a storyteller. Some of you may know him because you've read his BOK CHITTO.

SALTYPIE is a picture book with stories about Tingle's family. The illustrations, done by a Choctaw artist, are a beautiful complement to the stories Tim tells. I highly recommend it.
