Johnny''s Pheasant

★★★★★
★★★★★

English

By (author): Cheryl Minnema

Illustrated by: Julie Flett

An encounter with a pheasant (which may or may not be sleeping) takes a surprising turn in this sweetly serious and funny story of a Native American boy and his grandma

 
Pull over, Grandma! Hurry! Johnny says. Grandma does, and Johnny runs to show her what he spotted near the ditch: a sleeping pheasant. What Grandma sees is a small feathery hump. When Johnny wants to take it home, Grandma tries to tell him that the pheasant might have been hit by a car. But maybe she could use the feathers for her craftwork? So home with Grandma and Johnny the pheasant goes . . . 

Its hard to say who is most surprised by what happens nextGrandma, Johnny, or the pheasant. But no one will be more delighted than the reader at this lesson about patience and kindness and respect for nature, imparted by Grandmas gentle humor, Johnnys happy hooting, and all the quiet wisdom found in Cheryl Minnemas stories of Native life and Julie Fletts remarkably evocative and beautiful illustrations.
