highly recommended

In a true story, Pinkus Aylee, a black Union soldier, finds Sheldon Curtis left for dead and carries him home to be tended by his mother, but when the two boys attempt to rejoin the Union troops, they are captured and sent to Andersonville Prison.

A better way to teach the consequences of war and hate!

I have read this book to 4th-8th graders for years now, and find it stirs deep emotions of compassion in the young and old alike.
A must to teach the unintended consequences of war and hate.
Unforgettable!

Pink and Say

This is a wonderfully written book. I have always enjoyed Patricia Polacco books and the sneak peek into her life that she gives us. As a second grade teacher I will use this book next year to give my students a better understanding of what happened in our country not so long ago. This book should give them a better understanding of how the color of your skin affected how others treated you.

Moving

For a Civil War unit, this picture book has mature pictures, which are beautiful. A black teen Union soldier saves a white soldier, they hide, then are found and taken away. The Confederates hanged Pinkus (the Black teen) and imprisoned the White teen. The White teen survived, and the book is a true story passed down through oral history of his family. A teacher may want to use this powerful and moving story for any age students.

Beautiful Book

I am a student teacher, who is majoring in reading. I have read thousands of children's books. I've got to say that this is one of those books that will touch your heart. My own teacher, is the one who turned me onto this author. Patricia Polacco does such an amazing job making very mature topics accessable to even the youngest readers, by keeping everything age appropriate. A person of any age can enjoy her books. Her stories are always tied to her own memories and life stories. We as a society are very lucky to have such a gifted story teller and artist. I would recommend any of her books. They are all fantastic!

Pink and Say Magic

This is possibly one of the most touching books I have ever read in my life. Apparently it's based on true events of two Cival War soldiers who form an incredible bond. The art is amazing, and the story will make you cry.
