Charles M. Schulz and his beloved comic strip, "Peanuts," have
changed the world. In "Security Blankets," Fraser and Bang present
a heartwarming collection of 51 touching true stories to show the
connection people have with the adored cartoon. Stories, photos
from the contributors, and "Peanuts" artwork make this work extra
special. The connections are so strong they've even had the power
to change people's lives.
Take, for example, the Vietnam POW; whose first piece of
correspondence while in captivity was a Snoopy card that included a
picture of his wife and children. Or the 5-year-old boy from Boston
who demanded that his stuffed Snoopy accompany him to the hospital
for a high-risk surgery. Connections such as these show how
"Peanuts" has become a security blanket for thousands.
This is chicken soup for the "Peanuts" lover's soul.
Excerpt from the book:
"But what made this drawing different was the unique "countdown
calendar" that my father had drawn on Snoopy's belly. Each square
on the calendar, which my sisters and I would cross out, meant that
our dad was one day closer to coming home. Every time a square was
marked off that drawing, Snoopy brought a bit of happiness and
security to a war-weary and scared ten-year-old girl who
desperately missed her Daddy.
Did Snoopy help bring my father safely home from the Vietnam War?
Maybe, maybe not. But to this day, whenever I see
Snoopy--especially when he's performing his happy dance--my heart
is grateful and filled with loving memories of my Dad.
