From the very moment he was born, it was clear John Henry was no ordinary child. He grew so fast he burst right through the porch roof, and his booming laugh was loud enough to startle the sun. Armed with two massive sledgehammers, this legendary hero sets out to build roads and smash mountains into dust. When a mechanical steam drill threatens to take over the work of human hands, John Henry steps up for the ultimate test of strength. This epic, larger-than-life tall tale pulses with rhythm, humor, and towering courage, celebrating the unbreakable spirit of an American folk hero who proved that the human heart is stronger than any machine.
