Jocko the Raven

Jocko has been living a very raven life: flying, cawing, eating-

Until suddenly...Jocko is falling! This isn't how it's supposed to be at all! The ground rushes up fast-

The next thing Jocko knows, he's looking into the kind, and worried, faces of humans.

And then something happens that is very not-raven (though if any creature could manage this, it would be the smart and curious raven):

Jocko begins to tell his story, with his own voice.

Inspired by a real raven brought to his animal hospital in the 1970s, author Phil Ellsworth, DVM, wrote Jocko the Raven for elementary-school readers; it's a sweet and engaging story. But he also wrote it with the hopes that the gently presented lessons will linger with young readers as they age. Teens face a lot of scary challenges-from bullying to drug use-and if they can remember the lessons Jocko shared, they might remember hope as well and quickly find a path forward.
