Carl Sandburg Reflection June 10, 2009

Carl Sandburg and his Rootabaga stories are quite peculiar. However, it did remind me of the bitter, sweet taste of the orange miniature cubes my grandmother, Glendora use to prepare for us at dinner time. She served them so much; I can still taste them as I write! Thanks to Carl Sandburg’s vegetable stories, children (and adults) may be more prone to eat their vegetables. I can actually visualize the corn fairies sewing the husk of the corn into a pair of overalls with their toes pointing directly at the moon mainly because I watch a variety of cartoons with my children.
