A best-selling author and illustrator pay tribute to the power of
language and intergenerational bonds.
George Baker and Harry don't seem the likeliest of friends. Yet, sitting
side by side on George's porch, waiting for the school bus to come, the
two have plenty in common, this hundred-year-old musician with the
crookedy fingers going tappidy on his knees and the young schoolboy
whose shoelaces always need tying. They're both learning to read, which
is hard -- but what's easy is the warm friendship they share. In an
inspired pairing, a best-selling author and illustrator pay tribute to
the power of language and intergenerational bonds.
