This is a larger-than-life tale about the African-American hero who was born with a hammer in his hand. Join John Henry on a scenic journey from cotton country to the wilderness, where he finds men of all colors working together to build a great railroad. In no time, John Henry becomes king of the railroad camps by driving more steel than any man alive. And, in an exciting contest that pits man against machine, he single-handedly out-performs a new-fangled steam drill. This rousing tale delivers an inspirational message about pride and perseverance. Illustrated by Barry Jackson. Ages 4 and up. Grammy Award Nomination – Best Spoken Word Album for Children; Parents' Choice Gold Awards (Audio & Video); Parenting Magazine Best Videos of the Year; Parents Magazine Parents Prize; CINE Golden Eagle Award.
