Animals, Childrens books, Sweet Tales

On why she chose to tell stories that include animals rallying in support of one another who in nature might be adversaries in “Sweet Tales: The Adventures of Britt the Kit,” the first in a series of books that focus on real life experiences and explore universal themes…

Most humans view animals in one way, a way that never varies.   But most animals have been on the planet much longer than we have.  We just assume we are more evolved.  Having said that there is no underling reason as to the choices I made in the ‘Sweet Tales’ stories – it’s what I was writing.  I’ve watched, read about and observed animals my entire life, however.   They have their natural order in nature and much of literature, Television, movies, etc. shows their natural connection to nature and spirituality.  I don’t think anyone can dispute that.  One example would be related to wolves.  They choose to stay away from people unless we are negatively impacting the environment.  I used that theme in “The Prince of Tales” story in the first book with the red fox making himself known only because there is an environmental issue that threatens animals’ lives.  This is actual problem faced by many species today.

Author Talk: Daniel Barnhart: Importance of Messy Anne’s Identity…

Daniel Barnhart, John Urich, kidlit, Messy Anne meets the monstrosity

Today’s “Author Talk” with Daniel Barnhart… author of Messy Anne Meets the Monstrosity

Messy Anne didn't mean to be Messy, she just couldn't help it

Why is it important that she’s a girl?

D: Well, for all the reasons I mentioned above, about children and pressures and role models. Girls face that so much more than boys. I’m not saying boys don’t face it, but I don’t think it’s so defining.

Give an example.

D: The whole body image for one. The subtle cues that you are defined in relationship to a man and all that. There’s an insistent media push that automatically plays either to or against stereotype. Girls are either plain/smart, pretty/smart, pretty/dumb, plain/wallflower etc. etc.. It’s hard to find a woman character—and I’m not saying there aren’t—just that it’s hard to find a girl/woman character that isn’t defined somehow by the stereotype and stereotypical expectations that are predominantly from a male point of view.

And so Messy Anne is a girl.

D: Hopefully she’s just a person. A person that boys and girls can identify with. But I did make her a girl for a reason; so that boys and girls (because at that age they can) will identify with a girl that’s not fancy or prissy or anti feminine but is just a complete and exceptional person that has nothing to do with if she’s a boy or a girl. And I think at that age they still accept it. Hopefully Messy Anne reinforces and helps it. You don’t have to be a boy to be bold and have adventures and still be intelligent and well-mannered.
