Sissy’s younger brother, Chooch, isn’t a baby anymore. They just celebrated his second birthday, after all. But no matter what Chooch does — even if he’s messing something up! Which is basically all the time! — their parents say he’s just “helping.” Sissy feels that Chooch can get away with anything!
Chooch Helped is the relatable story of a Cherokee girl finding herself frustrated and annoyed with her brother as his “help” gets in the way of her trying to introduce him to their family’s traditions. Chooch Helped is a universal story of an older sibling learning to make space for a new child, illustrated by Rebecca Lee Kunz, a citizen of the Cherokee nation, and published by Levine Querido.
