For a Civil War unit, this picture book has mature pictures, which are beautiful. A black teen Union soldier saves a white soldier, they hide, then are found and taken away. The Confederates hanged Pinkus (the Black teen) and imprisoned the White teen. The White teen survived, and the book is a true story passed down through oral history of his family. A teacher may want to use this powerful and moving story for any age students. |

Pink and Say |
|
This is a wonderfully written book. I have always enjoyed Patricia Polacco books and the sneak peek into her life that she gives us. As a second grade teacher I will use this book next year to give my students a better understanding of what happened in our country not so long ago. This book should give them a better understanding of how the color of your skin affected how others treated you. |

A better way to teach the consequences of war and hate! |
I have read this book to 4th-8th graders for years now, and find it stirs deep emotions of compassion in the young and old alike.
A must to teach the unintended consequences of war and hate.
Unforgettable!
In Harmony,

Writing Book Review
The book Pink and Say is a bout tow boys that go to war .It takes place in the south during the civil war. Say got shot in the leg pink carried him to his moms house. She took care of him. They had to hide because the other soldier where coming to find them. Pinks mom got shot by the other soldiers that where looking for Pink and Say. A man from the war comes to tell them they have to go back. They go back in their uniforms and they are soldiers again.
I thought Pink and Say was a good book. It made me feel like what they felt like. It made me think of my uncle because he going to college for the Air Force. And I want to be in the Air Force.

Pink and Say is a Winner |
|
This book is a combination winner - the text and the illustrations are excellent. The "hand" metaphor resonates clearly - and Polacco has immortalized Pinkus Ailey with her moving story. |
