Description

A gently-told family tale of Grandpa & Grandma - and Blacky the Black Snake - as they face the cycles of life on the prairie farm together. Blacky is a well-loved fixture on the farm, but not everyone understands this. Grandma and Grandpa's simple wisdom on life, death and farm life inspire their family and others. Touches on natural aging and death in a gentle, positive way as well as a respect for animals and snakes, and an ecology of renewal. Good for helping children understand death, bereavement and acceptance. Praise for Blacky the Black Snake: " As I enter my 29th year of teaching, I have yet to find a book that children seek out more than this one on our library shelves or continually ask to be read. Julia and Susan, I applaud your beautiful efforts in creating a one-of-a-kind keepsake for every child to learn about life and death in a very special way!" - Suzanne Miles, Teacher "I was so touched by "Blacky the Black Snake." I found it to be a real page-turner. The illustrations are absolutely beautiful...you can always find something new each time you return to look again. The story is delivered with a light touch despite the serious content. I think it is a story that children will like and remember." -Barbara Wallace, Librarian "I have just read Blacky the Black Snake and I must say that in my opinion, this book is an award winner. The story is funny and yet meaningful without being overly sentimental and the illustrations are lovely and partner beautifully with the story. I sincerely think this book is an instant classic!" -Teresa M. Pacheco, Librarian
