John Henry. Illustrations by Jerry Pinkney, 1994.You have probably never head of John Henry. Or maybe you heard about him but don't know the ins and outs of his comings and goings. Well, that's why I'm going to tell you about him. When John Henry was born, birds came from everywhere to see him. The bears and panthers and moose and deer and rabbits and squirrels and even a unicorn came out of the woods to see him. And instead of the sun tending to his business and going to bed, it was peeping from behind the moon's skirts trying to get a glimpse of the new baby. |
