By: Steve Seskin and Allen Shamblin Through the eyes of a young boy, readers meet Joe, a neighborhood man down on his luck. One day, the boy’s father makes Joe a deal: sweep the sidewalk each morning and he can count on his meals. From that day on, the boy begins to recognize changes in this man his father hired—and when he’s made stock boy, his new boss is Joe. Back at school the boy is inspired to interact with kids he used to ignore, and he realizes that Joe isn’t the only one who’s changed. Seskin and Shamblin’s lyrical first-person narrative blends seamlessly with Christie’s lush acrylic and gouache illustrations in this story about an act of compassion that makes a big difference. |
