Storytime in Crazy Times

The world has turned upside down. The coronavirus has everyone on edge and many changing their daily routines to work, socialize and learn online from home. Once the virus has been vanquished, how many things will have truly changed forever as we all adjust to this new online world? Several days ago, I read a chapter from Maxzyne & the Old Horse Theatre to a third grade class now studying at home in Chicago. The students were charming, engaged and enthusiastic participants in this brand new learning environment. They answered questions and asked several of their own, enthusiastically waving their hands on the computer screens.I was thrilled to learn two students have dreams of becoming authors themselves, both writing stories now. What tales will they tell about this strange, crazy time when the world stopped...and then went virtual?InstagramMaxzyne2014

Book Excerpt

Maxzyne and the Old Horse Theatre

“You make this horse a slave for turistas?” His voice cracks like a whip. “Steal his soul for business?” He slices one hand through the air as if ending the idea and their conversation once and for all. His eyes narrow as he points a finger at her. “You do not deserve this horse!”

“You think I—wait! Me? Own a horse? Now you’re the crazy one!”

“You calling me loco (crazy)?” he sneers. “The only crazy is you with this horse! A horse that breaks his back all day on city streets. And what is his reward?” The boy’s eyes flash amber sparks again.
