It Takes a Village
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Grandparents Day is a big deal at Arnie's school, but he doesn't have anybody to bring. The kindly librarian suggests that he can bring a grown-up he knows in place of a grandparent, and this seems to solve the problem -- until he discovers his next-door neighbors are out of town so they can't come. One by one, he encounters grown-ups in his neighborhood who all ask him why he's sad, and he explains the problem. When Grandparents Day finally arrives, each of these grown-ups show up at the school to be with Arnie on the special day. Finally he realizes that there are a lot of people who care about him. The reader will easily be able to see the ending coming but it's still a satisfying way to end the story. I think the theme about community is also very nice. Fans of Nancy Carlson's other books will certainly enjoy this one.
