Amazon Description
Harry sits on the porch with Mr. Joe Baker, an African American who is one hundred years old but can still dance and play the drums, waiting for the school bus that will take them both to the class where they are learning to read.One Potato Review
How much does a ninety-something year old black man have in common with a young white boy? Any children’s book that attempts to investigate has this reader’s immediate confidence. And any child old enough to go to school (or anyway understand the concept) is poised to find something valuable in this deeply optimistic story.
