Narrative To 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.

Patricia Polacco has written many picture books that are beautiful, heartbreaking, and memorable but "Pink and Say" is the one that makes me cry every single time I read it. The author shares the story that she claims has been passed down through the generations from her great great grandfather Sheldon (Say) Curtis about his friendship with Pinkus (Pink) Aylee during the Civil War. Say is a teenaged white soldier from Ohio who is injured in battle in Georgia and discovered by Pink, an AfricanThis book follows the friendship and kindness that develops between a young African American soldier named Pink and a young White soldier named Say during the Civil War. Say is discovered badly wounded near a battlefield and is taken by Pink to his house in the countryside, where his Mother nurses the young soldier back to health. As he recovers, Say forms a bond with Pink and his Mother, and begins to understand what life is like as an African American family during this time. When Pink's
Many of the books I had read by Patricia Polacco were extremely emotional and sad like The Junkyard Wonders and Thank You, Mr. Falker, but none of them had hit me so close to my heart than her book Pink and Say. Pink and Say is a story about the friendship between two boys of different races whose ending will make you want to cry for many years to come.Sheldon Russell Curtis was a young soldier who was injured during the Civil War and was left for dead until a young African-American boy named
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'm promoting this book to 5 starts after reading it for the 2nd time ever last night. I kind of either love or hate Patricia Palocco (especially after hearing her speak) but the 2 times i've read this book (aloud. once to students, once to my 8 year old son), i've had the same, certain emotional reaction that produces a particular physiological response that i'm typically not given to. She spans a lot of emotions in this little book. the soldier that is eager to fit for his cause, the reluctant
A children's picture book remembering Pinkus Aylee, a colored boy in the Union Army who saved another.My TakeOh, I just wanted to cry throughout the story...and unfortunately, I got my "wish" at the end. It's a tale that has had many permutations throughout war, and this one is of two 15 year olds fighting for their own reasons. Whew, Polacco doesn't pull any punches in this when Pinkus meets up with Say and gives it to him straight. Reasonable, but, whoa. A nice bit of history for the kids with
What an amazing book! This book almost had me in tears at the end. Such an amazing story that touches your heart.The story is told from the perspective of someone who was told the story and it had been passed on through their family. The story is passed down by Say through his family because he was able to have a family and legacy, but Pink was not fortunate enough to have the fate as Say. The story is about a two young men named Pink and Say. Pink was a slave fighting in the 48th colored
