Opis

Trouble, storyteller Tim Tingle tells his audiences, is where story comes from. Without trouble, there is no story. Growing up, when he or his Choctaw family faced trouble, they said, saltypie. This homespun expression helped them face adversity. In this wonderfully illustrated storybook, Tim tells us how that expression saltypie came to be. When Tim's dad was a boy, the family moved into an Anglo neighborhood. His grandmother walked out on the front porch one day. Someone threw a rock at her face, and she lost her eyesight. Saltypie tells the story of how Tim's Choctaw family, led by the wisdom of his grandmother, walked into the light of understanding. Tim Tingle, a member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, is a sought-after storyteller for folklore festivals, library conferences, and schools across America. At the request of Choctaw Chief Pyle, Tim tells a story to the tribe every year before Pyle's State of the Nation Address at the Choctaw Labor Day Gathering. Tim's previous and often reprinted books from Cinco Puntos Press--Walking the Choctaw Road and Crossing Bok Chitto--received numerous awards nationally, but what makes Tim the proudest is the recognition he receives from the American Indian communities around the country. Karen Clarkson, a Choctaw tribal member, is a self-taught artist who specializes in portraits of Native Americans. She did not start painting until after her children had left home; she has since been widely acclaimed as a Native American painter. She lives in San Leandro, California.
