Product Description

 
In a special Christmas story, Newbery Medalist Kate DiCamillo spins a tale about the tender relationship between a little girl and a homeless organ grinder. In a nostalgic post-WWII setting on busy winter streets, Frances is fascinated by an enterprising organ grinder, and finds a way to incorporate her interest into the school's winter pageant. With soft, muted illustrations.
