Narrative Supposing Books Pink and Say
3.5 stars. Such a sad story. As you might expect from a Patricia Polacco book, this is uplifting and gives you hope in human nature and it is heartbreakingly sad and makes you despair too.The American Civil war is something I know very little about, this gives you a taste of what it was like for young people having to fight. This is a good picture book for those wanting an introduction to this period of history from a personal point of view.
I do love these personal stories Patricia Polacco has from her family, a lot of amazing stories where passed on to Patricia and she is a great storyteller, one that takes you on an emotional roller coaster. One reviewer that seems to have done a lot of research into these characters seems to think this is fiction, who knows, but for me this was still a great story about the hideous waste of young people at war or the pain any war causes.
This is a very sad book and definitely aimed at older readers and not for a sensitive reader.

I do love these personal stories Patricia Polacco hasThis is a true story, handed down in the authors family. Its about her great-great grandfathers experience fighting for the Union Army in the Civil War (at the age of 15), fleeing a particularly awful battle, getting shot and left to die, being rescued by an injured young man from a colored regiment, nursed to health by his new friends mother, and eventually imprisoned in the worst POW camp in the country. Its a tale about a slave boy who, though he is much too young to be a soldier, runs
This Patricia Polacco historical fiction picture book deals with the period of the Civil War in the United States. It is written for 4th grade and up. The subject matter in this story deals with slavery, war, friendship, love, and death. One thing that makes this story special is that it is a story that was handed down through oral storytelling from generation to generation. The story is based on real people. Patricia uses what she knows and her imagination to tell us this story. Patricia writes
Genre: Historical FictionThis book is about two soldiers, one white and one black, and the friendship they form while fighting in the Civil War. It describes the challenges they face, and the different paths their lives take due to the color of their skin. This would be appropriate for 3rd-5th grade students. This would be a great book to read during a civil rights unit. It shows the unique perspectives of both a black and white soldier during the war. The message in the story could be discussed
I really enjoyed reading this book about two young boys who were brought together during the Civil War and formed an unforgettable bond. I used this book for part of a Civil War unit for 5th graders and it was a great fiction book to help students connect with an event that seems to be so far removed from their lives. The two characters met when Pink found the wounded Say and brought him back to his house with him and his mother. They were so accepting of each other, despite the obvious
This book brought tears to my eyes. A colloquialistic account that could easily be read by 3-7 or even 8th grade. Patricia Polacco, once again, has written a masterpiece of its kind. I could honestly find no weaknesses in a story where a young black soldier finds a white soldier shot in the fields during the Civil War. Both boys were about 15 years old. From two different regiments, the black soldier named Pink, quenches his fellow soldier's thirst and carries him to what he used to know as
This book initially appealed to me because I have heard many wonderful things about it, and I knew it was a picture book that appealed to older readers. After reading it, I felt it held up to its reputation. The story was heart-warming, yet informative, and it gives the reader lots of information about the Civil War, race realtions, and slavery, in a rich and powerful format. Polacco's word characterization provides an insight into her characters that is not always seen in pcture books and
