Carrie Anne Vanderhoop’s Wôpanâak Seasons: Seeqan, Neepun, Keepun, Pup8n is a winner of the CBC Librarian Favorite and Teacher Favorite awards.

About the Children’s Book Council (CBC) Awards

Each year, thousands of children, teens, teachers, and librarians across 50 states read newly published K-12-grade books and vote for the ones they like best. Over 70 coordinators nationwide display hundreds of publisher-submitted titles in their schools and libraries so that every book can be read and voted on.

The books with the most votes become the annual KIDS FAVORITES, MIDDLE-GRADE FAVORITES, and TEEN FAVORITES!

The teachers and librarians who coordinate the program also get to vote, and their FAVORITES are compiled too.

About the Book

In Wôpanâak Seasons: Seeqan, Neepun, Keepun, Pup8n, a young Wampanoag child takes readers on a seasonal journey through Aquinnah, on Neope, known as Martha’s Vineyard. Spring brings the return of wildlife; summer brings beach adventures and clambakes; fall is for harvesting and making jams; and winter features cozy gatherings and heartfelt traditions. Each season showcases the rich cultural heritage of the Wampanoag people. With striking illustrations and lyrical prose, this book is about an appreciation of the land and the joy of coming together with family and community all year round.
