The Land of the Great Turtles / ᎦᏙᎯ ᎠᏁᎲ ᏧᎾᏔᏂ ᏓᎦᏏ (Cherokee and English Edition)

The Creator gave the Cherokee people a beautiful island with everything they could ever need. It came with only one rule: They must take care of the land and the animals living there. But what happens when the children decide to play with the turtles instead of tending to their responsibilities?

The Land of the Great Turtles is a Cherokee origin story that introduces the reader to Cherokee beliefs and values. Written in both Cherokee and English, the book will familiarizes readers with the Cherokee syllabary and language.
