The Legend of Hobbomock, the Sleeping Giant
(now going through second printing)
In this compelling story of a young
Quinnipiac brave named Blackbird,
award-winning Connecticut author Jason Marchi and artist Jesse Bonnelli have teamed
up
to capture the magic and the history of a time before our own. Through young Blackird's
eyes we learn the
Quinnipiac tribal legend of how the Sleeping Giant landform in Hamden, Connecticut
came to look like a giant man sleeping on his back.
The story, brought to life with 14 full-color vibrant illustrations, gives us a renewed
appreciation
of the natural world and shows young readers how Native Americans lived close to
the earth and
respected the land, air, water, and wildlife. It is most decidedly a story worth
imparting to our children (and adults) today.
Additional note: the book was designed by Thomas Goddard,
who besides being a professional graphic designer, assists his wife with Tea Tastings
and events
at the Sundial Gardens in Higganum, Conn.
