Derek And The Blackbirds Of Southport Kindle Edition
Years before the internet and cell phones became a constant part of our lives, Derek, a young father of three, devised an interesting and fun way of teaching his children. He enjoyed whistling back and forth with the blackbirds living in the trees on his property and it wasn’t long before his children noticed, and believed he was able to communicate with the birds. This presented Derek with a unique opportunity – to make learning fun.
Mr. Peepmatz was a male blackbird and a father himself, helping his mate to raise their own clutch of children. When Derek’s children had a question, he would whistle to Mr. Peepmatz as if relaying the question to the wise bird. When the bird whistled back, in what appeared to the children as responding with an answer, Derek would relay the answer to his children. Conferring with Mr. Peepmatz proved to be a unique and fun way for the children to learn.
As the years passed and his children became adults with children of their own, Derek continued the tradition and introduced Mr. Peepmatz to his grandchildren.

About the author
Horst Christian was born in Berlin, Germany in 1930. His father, a mathematician and a banker, taught him to read and write before the age of 5. He discovered his love for writing by the time he was 10 years old and wrote vacation reports and several articles for the German school periodical “Hilf Mit.”
Drafted to help defend Berlin against the Soviets at the age of 14 because of his unique knowledge of the subway system, he served as a guide for various SS demolition commandos.
In the early 1950s, Horst immigrated to the United States and became a US citizen after the mandatory 5-year waiting period. He loves to travel and has visited all 50 states in the US, most of Europe, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and some Central American countries. He now resides with his wife Jennifer in Idaho.

- Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2022Well, turns out anything written by Horst Christian is a fantastic, educational, thought- provoking read! I recommend all his books, most especially Children To A Degree - which should be mandatory reading for our school age kids
