Sequoyah is the creator of the Cherokee Alphabet. He was called crazy by his people, his wife did not support him, and his father abandoned him. He went through many trials to help his people, but it was not until he had proven himself to the "white man" that he recieved respect from his own
I would also use this book in a history lesson, a book report. I also would point out that even though so much was going against him, Sequoyah did not let the trials stop him from achieving his goal and that they can also accomplish anything they want to too. Sounds corny, but I think that it might reach some kids.
