Information sur l'oeuvreThe Hired Hand par Robert D. San Souci
![]() Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre. ![]() ![]() This is an African American Folktale about a hired hand at a sawmill who is treated poorly by the owner’s son. Young Sam, the owner’s son, is taught a lesson after his laziness leads him to a “bad end.” This folktale revolves around the theme of hard work and treating people with respect. The artwork uses pencil and watercolor and may not be eye catching; however, the art does tell the story well. The Hired Hand inspires readers to imagine what life and values of long ago Virginia were like for the freed African American characters in this folktale brilliantly retold by San Souci. A wonderful companion to John Henry and The Talking Eggs.
