Teaching without Preaching

  Precioys and the Boo Had

Childrenobey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 

Ephesians 6:1 NIV

 Celebrate Black History month with Precious and the Boo Hag by Patricia McKissack. McKissack is a black author who gives us insights into the Gullah culture as well as finding a wonderful way to teach children to obey their parents and resist the devil.

We've all heard the different names people use, especially with children, to describe Satan. Most often we hear him referred to as the devil, but it's likely we've also heard and used the term "boogerman" or "boogeyman." In Gullah culture, he's called Boo Hag and is portrayed in a more feminine way.
