The heartwarming and memorable Newbery Honor-winning book about finding family in the unlikeliest places, featuring artwork by beloved illustrator Garth Williams. This classic middle grade novel is a welcome and meaningful read, especially at Christmastime.

Armand, an old man living on the streets of Paris, relishes his
solitary life in the beautiful city. He is happy with his carefree existence,
begging and doing odd jobs to keep himself warm and fed. With simple pleasures
and no cares, what more could he need?

Then one day just before Christmas, Armand
returns to his favorite spot beneath the bridge to find three cold and hungry
children. Although he has no interest in children, Armand soon finds himself
caring for the small family. It does not take Armand very long to realize that he
must do whatever it takes to get them a real home.
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.
