A tender story of a father-son adventure with themes of community and kindness, in short chapters with vivid full-colour illustrations, by bestseller and Newbery Honor winner Gary D. Schmidt and acclaimed artist Eugene Yelchin. In a story of perseverance and determination told with warmth and sparkling with humour, a short winter day finds Samuel and Papa walking a long road on Samuel' s first trading trip. Meeting strangers, practicing good manners, and proud to be in Papa' s company, Samuel watches and learns as Papa trades up from almost nothing to the milk cow Mama is yearning for. Simple text combines with vivid illustrations for a satisfying tale that will resonate with readers who enjoy an adventure with dad. AGES: 8 to 12 AUTHORS: Gary D.
