In this book a lonely old man who lives in a gray place, surrounded by other people's discards, builds the forest of his dreams. Deeply affected by the events of September 11th, LeVar spends time with students of P.S. 234, an elementary school just blocks away from Ground Zero. Challenged by tremendous upheaval, students share how they have endured their situation better than anyone would imagine. Together with Reading Rainbow the entire school creates a music video to share their powerful message of gratitude and hope.
