Steve Seskin & Allen Shamblin, illustrated by R. Gregory Christie
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. 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. Audio CD and musical score included.
