Annotation:
Maurie J. Manning is an IRA Notable Book 2003 award author /illustrator wrote and illustrated this book.
The story is setting in New York City in early 20 century. It starts with a miracle red cloth felled on a shoeshine boy. While he tried to find the owner of the cloth, he had the opportunities to explored diversity cultural neighbours and be friend with them. This book combines realistic, fantasy and graphic novel elements. There are only a few conversation in the book containing some foreign phrases which could found translations at the back on the glossary. The author vividly illustrated the movements of the boy with watercolour and pastel. No matter the character moved back and forth, up and down were hilariously. Children aged 4-8 will be amused. The book delivers a message of social harmony to children.
