When it was first published, Crossing Bok Chitto took readers by surprise. This moving and original story about the intersection of Native and African Americans received starred reviews and many awards, including being named an ALA Notable Children’s Book and a Jane Addams Honor Book. Jeanne Rorex Bridges’ illustrations mesmerized readers—Publishers Weekly noted that her “strong, solid figures gaze squarely out of the frame, beseeching readers to listen, empathize and wonder.”
Choctaw storyteller Tim Tingle blends songs, flute, and drum to bring the lore of the Choctaw Nation to life in lively historical, personal, and traditional stories.
Artist Jeanne Rorex Bridges traces her heritage back to her Cherokee ancestors.

About the Author
Not to be outdone by Tim Tingle, artist JEANNE ROREX BRIDGES does a full circuit of Native America art shows throughout the year, in addition to showing her art and illustrations at her home studio in rural eastern Oklahoma, part of the farm and ranch land where she was raised―she bakes blackberry and raspberry cobbler for these home visits with berries she’s collected herself! Jeanne is an award-winning artist of Cherokee ancestry. Her work has become nationally known, winning many awards in Native American art shows. For several years, she has incorporated paintings depicting the shared history of Southeastern Indians and African Americans with her Native American work. The story of Crossing Bok Chitto was a perfect fit for her first book illustration.
