Late One winter night, a boy watches the approach of a speeding train. A low hum becomes a thundering rumble as a legendary streamliner appears and rockets past the boy's farmhouse. The Earth trembles and the house shakes. A string of box shaped lights flies by. Soon the train is gone and silence returns to the cold dark valley. In simple language and enchanting watercolors, Industrial power and rural loneliness impinge on each other in the deep mysterious dark of an American night.
Jeff Hagen 's 'Hiawatha Passing/Sometimes Magic Happens' is the perfect book for young readers grades kindergarten through third grade...As a child, Jeff rode the great train with his family from Minneapolis to Chicago and witnessed it's actual passing at his own country farm house as rural Minnesota.
Readers of all ages may recognize and remember a moment in their lives when they rode a train off to join the armed services, start college, began a new job, or started a new life far down the track from their childhood homes. Traveling down tracks to a faraway station called 'Destiny'.
A portion of the book sales will be donated to the little mountain school in Appalachia where Jeff volunteers to teach art.
