Being only nine and six years old, the brother and sister in Blackie know little about responsibility, bigotry, trust, loyalty, and acceptance. By many standards, childhood is the same regardless of era. Whether they are occurring now or one hundred years ago, children’s days are spent playing, learning, and learning by playing. These siblings learn lessons about life way beyond their young years through the guidance of a crow and wise and loving guardians. Come join this boy and girl as they learn about Mother Nature; but more importantly, observe the lessons about life taught by a wild crow they rehabilitated. Those lessons have lasted a lifetime.
