Sukey and the Mermaid
Sukey and the Mermaid: with audio recording | Robert D. San Souci
3 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
Storyteller say, This happened oncet upon a time, on a little island off the coast of South Carolina. A girl named Sukey lived with her ma and new step-pa. Sukey called her step-pa "Mister Hard-Times." Every day, while he watched, she hoed the weeds in the garden and every day, she sang: Mister Hard-Times, Since you come My ma don't like me, My work never done. But one morning, when her step-pa wasn't looking, Sukey ran away to her secret hiding place by the sea and unwittingly called up Mama Jo, a beautiful black mermaid. The adventures that followed changed her life forever. In this dream-woven story, artfully retold by Robert D. San Souci from an American folktale, a poor girl finds her wishes answered not by treasure, or the sea's magic, but by goodness and love.

Another beautiful piece from the Black Mermaids art exhibit. The message is powerful. Look closely…the meaning is obvious.

Right now in Charleston, there is an art exhibit of Black Mermaids. I went with a friend yesterday. The art was so colorful, beautiful and amazing. In many of the works, the pain of the past spilled through. Each piece tells a story that needs to be heard. I couldn‘t help but think that this art would not be allowed in De Santis land, or any of the ‘Moms for Liberty‘.

mcctrish These pieces are amazing! Thank you for taking the photos and posting here 😍😍 11mo

Beautiful art and story. I will definitely be picking up a physical copy to add to my growing children's library for my future child/children (speaking it into existence).
