A 2005 Sibert Honor Book

The story of Sequoyah is the tale of an ordinary man with an extraordinary idea--to create a writing system for the Cherokee Indians and turn his people into a nation of readers and writers. The task he set for himself was daunting. Sequoyah knew no English and had no idea how to capture speech on paper. But slowly and painstakingly, ignoring the hoots and jibes of his neighbors and friends, he worked out a system that surprised the Cherokee Nation--and the world of the 1820s--with its beauty and simplicity. James Rumford's Sequoyah is a poem to celebrate literacy, a song of a people's struggle to stand tall and proud.

Great lotion with great fragrance
Scent: Fresh Mint, Size: 13.2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This lotion feels so good on my skin and the smell is perfume, but soft. I love the smell! If you are sensitive to perfumes, this may not be for you.

A lightweight lotion with a pleasant scent
Scent: Mellow Coconut, Size: 13.2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is a lightweight lotion that absorbs well and leaves my skin silky soft for several hours afterwards. The scent is pretty and 'mellow', just like the name says, and it lasts almost as long as the moisturized feeling. Some fragrances give me a headache, but this one doesn’t, and it’s light enough that other people don’t notice it until they get close to me. The one withheld star is for the lack of upfront transparency about the ingredients. I am allergic to several chemicals that are common in skincare products, so it's very important to me to be able to see what I'm buying before I spend money on a personal care product that can’t be returned, and I know I’m far from the only person who has this problem. This is the complete list of ingredients, as shown on the back of the box: Water, Glycerin, Isopropyl Myristate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cetearyl Alcohol, 1,2-Hexanediol, C14-22 Alcohols, Dimethicone, Fragrance, Ceramide NP, Saccharomyces/Rice Ferment Filtrate, Sodium DNA, Dipropylene Glycol, Glyceryl Stearate, Sorbitan Olivate, C12-20 Alkyl Glucoside, Butylene Glycol, Cetearyl Olivate, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Cetyl Palmitate, Acrylates/ C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Tromethamine, Sorbitan Palmitate, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate, Isopropyl Palmitate, Panthenol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Fruit Extract, Disodium EDTA, Pentylene Glycol, Polyglyceryl-10 Oleate, Glucose, Dimethyl Isosorbide, Propylene Glycol, Hexyl Cinnamal, Limonene, Benzyl Salicylate, Coumarin, Linalool
