Crumbsnatcher

Who is Crumbsnatcher?

Crumbsnatcher is the name of a bird that lives in bird town. Like most birds you know he was hatched from an egg. What is so interesting about Crumbsnatcher is his attire. He is the only bird in his neighborhood that wears a hat and sneakers. This makes Crumbsnatcher different from his friends and he stands out in the crowd.

Is being different as a child considered a good thing? Do we encourage individuality or support an environment of conformity. This is one of the questions that we will look at in a future post and we are interested in what you think.

I read a post on this topic that I wanted to share an excerpt from. The post is from Joy Chaser.com …” When I was a child, I remember wishing I was more like the popular kids, but those thoughts faded quickly when I realized that my individuality was more important than popularity. I’m glad I wasn’t in the “in crowd” as a kid; it made me into the person I am today, a strong-willed, independent young man, ready to overcome any obstacle the world may throw at me. Don’t be afraid to be different.”

Bird Town-An Opportunity for Discussion on Diversity

The introduction of Bird Town in Crumbsnatcher Gets A New Name is an opportunity for teachers and parents to discuss postive aspects of diversity to young children.

There are several different bird families in Crumbsnatcher. The Humming Bird family, Finch, and Boo Coo’s each have their own differences in appearance but all live and work in Bird Town.

Parents and teachers could ask the children if they know other families that look different from them in their community.  There can be a discussion about what makes people different and what makes them the same.

Although there are differences all of them were still birds. There is such an amazing simplicity in this story. Children really get this concept if introduced early before the complexities of bias infect them.

Children Remember The Moral Of The Story

Tonight a wonderful mom and her three children listened to the Crumbsnatcher DVD three times. They talked about it with their mom and called us up to tell us what they liked. They asked questions about Strong Share and was delighted that he spoke to them on the phone.

They were concerned about children throwing stones at Crumbsnatcher and quoted Ms. Sarah telling the children that it was a wrong thing to do. They knew about Crumbsnatchers new name and talked about his change.

They remembered the power of friendship and mentoring of Strong Share Hummingbird.

Children can sometimes be better than adults in capturing the ethics and ethos of a story. They know the right and wrong if it has been instilled in them by someone who is raising them. Everything they read or see is often measured against the strong foundation of values provided for them.

We were thrilled because this wonderful mom listened and discussed the story with them. Wow and Super Wow!

Sing The Wingie Dingie When You Are Stressed

The song the Wingie Dingy is powerful in it’s simplicity. I encourage everyone to come up with their own personal song to sing when times are hard. Music is powerful and should be used to encourage , empower and enlighten.

I have a Book Inside of Me

I spoke to someone from bird hangout. They told me that they were going to rehab as soon as they went to court. They also read my book called the Olympian Woman and said they wanted more copies to share with others. As she walked away she said, “I have a book in me”. I affirmed her and said, “YES YOU DO!’

I gave here another bible because the other one was lost. I wanted her to have it when she went into rehab. Such a caring and compassionate woman that has had a lot of hurts in her life.

I hope  while she is in rehab and when she comes home she makes the start to write the book that is inside of her. Just like crumbsnatcher she can help someone else with her story.

So many in bird hangout hurt. They hurt with pain many do not understand. They hang with others who are hurting but feeling helpless emotionally/ They are caught up in a life style that so often hurt others as well as themselves.

But we must encourage them to come out of bird hangout and live a life of positive purpose.

Do you know someone in bird hang out that has a book inside of them?
