Step into the forest and discover the animals that have shared the Cherokee homeland for generations.
Forest Relatives is a beautifully illustrated Cherokee-English picture book that introduces young readers to the language, wildlife, and cultural teachings of the Cherokee people. Designed for children, families, educators, and anyone interested in Indigenous languages, this engaging book transforms every page into an opportunity to learn.
Each animal is presented with:
- The Cherokee name in authentic Cherokee syllabary
- A simple phonetic pronunciation guide
- The English name
- A detailed full-page illustration that brings each forest relative to life
From bears and deer to foxes, turtles, owls, and many more woodland creatures, children will build vocabulary while developing an appreciation for the natural world. The easy-to-follow format encourages beginning readers, supports language learners, and makes Cherokee words approachable even for those with no prior experience.
More than an animal book, Forest Relatives reflects an enduring Cherokee teaching: that humans are only one part of a much larger family of living beings. Every creature has value, every life deserves respect, and the forest is a community where all are connected.
Perfect for:
- Families exploring Cherokee language together
- Classrooms and school libraries
- Homeschool programs
- Tribal language revitalization efforts
- Nature and wildlife education
- Museum gift shops
- Anyone interested in Indigenous cultures and languages
Whether read at bedtime, used as a classroom resource, or shared during language lessons, Forest Relatives encourages curiosity, respect for nature, and pride in one of North America's oldest living languages.
Learning a language begins with a single word. Respect for nature begins with a single step into the forest.
Open the pages, meet your forest relatives, and discover that we are all connected.
Learn. Read. Honor. Remember. We Are All Forest Relatives.
