A Boy and His String is about the innocence of little ones. The imagination kids possess amazes me every day. Just a simple piece of string can ignite such creativity. This book was written after some sort of gift-giving reason. There was all those new and old toys, and there sat my two-year-old and a simple piece of yarn. For days, he played with it, doing all the things in this book, plus more.
When Junior's parents break up, he reflects back to a simpler time when he and his father would visit the local park and feed the ducks. In an effort to bridge the past with his current reality, Junior asks his dad if they can visit a restaurant to eat duck during his next visit to Atlanta over the Thanksgiving holiday. His dad suggests they cook a duck instead. They not only cook it, but they record it to create a lasting memory.
A Short Story About Giants by Richard Crowe is a great recounting of a conversation between a grandfather and his grandson. This is a story not only about making a connection with your loved ones, but also showing them that history can be found in more than just history books. The grandfather?s goal is to keep his grandson, Cody, interested in learning something new all the time...I remember learning just the basic story of David and Goliath. The way the grandfather related the story made such an impact on Cody, the grandson, that he will remember it for the rest of his life. It also sparked his interest in learning more about giants. His grandfather is savvy enough to use this chance to teach Cody parts of the Bible and an ongoing history that we rarely pay attention to. Cody?s interest was not the only one that was piqued during this brief history of giants. I found myself doing a lot of research after I finished reading it...This short story is only about 13 pages long, but it packs a powerful punch. There is even room to throw in a bit of a love story in the telling. This is not a book that will be easily forgotten, and I look forward to reading it to my grandchildren to see what kind of questions it may spark from them...I give this book 4 OUT OF 4 STARS. I wish we would all find a way to teach our children a little history every day...This grandfather found a way to inspire Cody to take an interest and ask more questions. If we make history interesting, we would want to learn more, and learn it better.Review by dhomespotAugust 26, 2017
This is set in the rural part of America in the 1960s.A great deal of African Americans were still in the South, picking cotton, chopping cotton, and working on plantations. Little did we know that in the 1960s, there was an industrial revolution not only in the north with the steel mills, stockyards, constructions, and in others, like domestic jobs in the home, hotels, and for drivers in all aspects of transportation.Every Sunday morning, African Americans would attend church, all day long in most situations because that was a tradition that was taking place in the South during the sharecropping days and slavery days.I found out that a great deal of churches provided financial support and education for the laughs because Americans were sharecroppers. African Americans, with their best Sunday clothes on, headed to the church to thank God for another week.Traditions such as gold traditions were maintained by the shoppers and also African American landholders and owners as well. There was also a great deal of landowners doing shopping. At this time, they did not have as much property as plantation owners. But they were lying on this, and they had so much pride in what they did in their work.These basic and general values for African Americans on Sundays is very powerful.Let us look forward to the next book that will discuss what happened after 1965 once the sharecropper grandson enters the Chicago metropolitan area after being gone for seven years and see his views and understanding of returning back from the rule of Mississippi to the Uptown Chicago. Lets see what changes in opportunity that will be taken advantage of and the disadvantages that he will experience. This is my view. This is my love for the book White Gold Cotton and Sharecroppers Stories.Charles Watkins lll, author of the book
