He begged and did odd jobs for money to keep himself warm and fed, and he liked his carefree life.
Then one day just before Christmas, a struggling mother and her three children walked into his life. Though he tried to ignore their troubles, Armand soon found himself caring for the family and sharing his unusual home under the bridge with them. It did not take Armand very long to realize that he had gotten himself ready-made family; one that he loved with all his heart, and one for whom he would have to find a better home than the bridge.
Children will treasure this warm and funny adventure of family, freedom, and Santa Claus. The book includes illustrations by Garth Williams, the acclaimed illustrator of E. B. White's Charlotte's Web and Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House series, among many other books.  4aPoverty 4aJuvenile Literature  4aSocial Classes 4aHomeless people 4aGenerosity 4aHolidays  cBK  00104070a80.1b80.1d2024-02-09l0oF3 - CARpA02747r2024-02-09 21:21:48w2024-02-09yBK  c125191d125191
