Teaching Ideas: |
This would be a good addition to a text set about island life or folk tales. Brian Pinkney's illustrations are stunning, so an illustrator study, using other recommended books that Pinkney has illustrated, would be interesting and beneficial. Students could compare and contrast illustrations from particular books, for example. They could, through observation and discussion, articulate Pinkney's artistic style. The author's note (on the last page) provides interesting information for the study of folk tale.
