Last Stop on Market Street meets We Are Grateful: Otsaliheliga in this "staggeringly lovely" (BCCB, starred review) picture book about a young boy who learns the Cherokee lesson of gadugi--how working together and helping each other makes the whole community stronger.

When eager Clay asks his elisi (grandmother) for help to be named star of the week at school, he's surprised by her answer: No one person is more important than his family and his community. But is Clay still important at all?

This contemplative exploration of community, individualism, and responsibility--accentuated with traditional beadwork in the art--is a moving invitation to consider an indigenous perspective of one's place in the world and how we all light up our sky, together.
