A Farmer, His Son and Their Mule (ePub)

A call went out by the National Association of Black Storytellers in search of stories for their first anthology. Joann Frasier Dasent responded by submitting a revised Aesop Fable. She reached out to a coworker who owned a store called To Walk A Crooked Mile. After purchasing a copy of an 1848 Aesop Fables book her journey began. She was inspired to write The Farmer, His Son and Their Mule. The fable went from the pages of the anthology to: a reading at Barnes and Noble where an upright bass player accompanied her as listeners sat in aw. She was invited to share the fable with a group of girls during an early morning program. A young tap dancer stepped to the beat of the farmer and his son and their mule. Shortly afterward the fable was introduced and read at Springside School’s Book Fair. A handmade quilt was made for the visual learners to follow the story and now a children’s book helps to bring it all together.
