Watercress for Pokey

Watercress for Pokey is a heartwarming, intergenerational Cherokee story about family, tradition, and discovery set during a lively day at the Watercress Fest. Young Pokey, known for her girly personality and signature purple skirt, wakes up excited to attend the festival with her grandparents, Elisi and Eduda, and her big brother, Chooch. From spring-fed creeks and Cherokee stickball to handmade quilts, beadwork booths, and the unexpected delight of watercress soup, the story takes readers on an immersive journey through Cherokee culture. As Pokey plays, explores, and even gets a little muddy chasing frogs, her curiosity grows — and so does her understanding of her heritage. Guided gently by her wise and nurturing grandparents, Pokey and Chooch learn more than just crafts or games — they discover that traditions, language, and community are the roots that ground them. Even as the storm rolls in and they dash back to the truck laughing and soaked, the warmth of family and culture stays with them. This story celebrates the joy of learning, the strength of Cherokee identity, and the beautiful passing down of traditions from one generation to the next.
