As I Sat on My Grandpa's Knee
Paperback
(Eloquent Books July 1, 2009)
Recapture the magic of youth - a time when your imagination could make the ordinary into the extraordinary. Terry David Johnson's As I Sat On My Grandpa's Knee is a delightful tale of a day in the life of a young boy and his grandpa as they sit on a tree stump one spring day. Grandpa encourages his grandson to use his imagination - look, in the field - is that a mouse? What happens to him? Why, there's a cat chasing the mouse. What about that dog-why is he scratching? Could it be fleas and where do the fleas go and what is their world like? As one generation inspires another by wisdom, the young boy learns to look at everything around him in a brand new way. The flowers are brighter, the animals have their own world, and the trees, grass, and fields seem more than just things he sees everyday. Do Grandpa and the boy actually see everything they talk about or was it just adventures of their imagination?
