Abstract

en_US
The biography at the end of this creative book tells that Branham "began a rhythmic dialogue between design and words. In 2001 the author-artist wanted to brighten young lives to replace sadness, so she cut up photos, added colorful collages, then quickly found words. Thus this little volume was born." There are ten stories here. Their presentation follows a format: a paragraph on the genesis of each fable; a dated and titled rhyming verse story with moral; and a full-page colored collage presenting a group of characters. The characters are formed visually by taking photographs and working with them through processes like cropping and rotating. What emerges then is a story meant to encourage. The experience of 9/11 was a particular stimulus, and the dates of the poems start soon thereafter. One typical example is "Trouble in the Woods" (6-7) about a rabbit celebrating the birth of his baby boy but bothering other animals with his celebrating. Another is "A Man, His Dog, and a Wise Little Bird" (30-31). This story teaches that "It takes all kinds." The book is testimony to the power and pleasure of creating stories.
