No matter how different we feel, we are all more similar than we at
first appear.
This is not a story about a heron or a robot or a chicken but an
ordinary boy with daily struggles, triumphs, and an extraordinary
imagination. Henry uses forearm crutches decorated with animal stickers.
He sometimes feels out of place at school, especially when he gets made
fun of, but through his own rich imagination and his friendship with
Joel, Henry learns to define himself on his own terms.
