The book is written in both Chickasaw and English languages. A ranger will read the English version but will insert Chickasaw words, prompting the listeners to join in. Children and their families are encouraged to come enjoy the Read with a Ranger program at 10:00 am on Saturday, November 11, 2017, at the Parkway Visitor Center in Tupelo, Mississippi.
