In this episode of CNTV News, Brad and Quin meet with Chickasaw author and dietician Gabriel Cannon. His book, Brave Little Anoli, follows Anoli's journey through the forest as she connects with Chickasaw culture and learns about the importance of good health. While the book's focus is educating children about maintaining a healthy lifestyle, Cannon hopes the main takeaway is "character and doing the right thing — even when it's scary." Find Brave Little Anoli and a diverse range of titles at ChickasawPress.com.
