Description: Written by Arna Bontemps in the 1930s and never before published, this delightful picture book recounts young Bubber's hunting trip with his Uncle Demus gone awry. Asked to climb to the top of a tree to chase down a raccoon Bubber accidentally falls off a branch anti tumbles to the ground. Unconscious Bubber then narrates the rest of the story as his dream of going to Heaven. In Heaven, he sprouts wings and learns to fly, joins Sister Esther's church band, discovers the joys of unlimited free food, and meets one of Heaven's finest. When he finally regains consciousness, he finds himself back in his bed at home, surrounded by Uncle Demus and other anxious members of his family. He can still hear the youngsters calling to him and saying, "Keep a-flapping your wings, Bubber."
