Sequoyah and His Talking Leaves
A Play about the Cherokee Syllabary
From the Series Setting the Stage for Fluency
In the early 1800s, white settlers and missionaries were intent on bringing the English language to the illiterate Native Americans. Sequoyah was intrigued by these leaves of paper with strange marks that talked. Doing what no one had ever done before, Sequoyah set about creating a written Cherokee language—helping preserve the tribe’s history and culture even today.

Kirkus Reviews
“Feeney’s attractive pastel illustrations complement the dialogue nicely, creating a hybrid picture book/script….Apt for newly independent readers or as a classroom read-aloud or even a school play.” —Kirkus Reviews
