Pink and Say, written and illustrated by Patricia Polacco, is a well-written and heart-wrenching story about an adolescent African American union soldier, who demonstrates heroic acts of bravery to save the life of a white union soldier of approximately the same age. However, the story changes drastically through an ironic turn of events. The beautiful illustrations, full of movement and light, enhance the already perfect narrative. The detail in the text is absorbed by the purposeful lack of detail in the illustrations, creating perfect balance and harmony. This wonderful book may be read for its own enjoyment or as a counterpart to the study of the Civil War era of the United States, by people of all ages.
