This story is one that warms the heart. A little boy named Trevor moves to a new place and when he does so, he comes across an elderly man in a wheel chair who often times is picked on by
passerbys. Trevor seeks to befriend Petey, who not only is elderly but suffers from Cerebral Palsy. As the story continues, the two become great friends-sharing in life together. Even with the pigeons that continue to make the pages of the story :)
This book would be a great text to be used within the third through fifth grade classroom (or even beyond) as it is such a rich story, addressing aspects of friendship, bullying, physical illness, differences, etc. This story goes beyond age and ability to show what
true friendship really is.
