The heartwarming and memorable Newbery Honor-winning book about finding family in the unlikeliest places, featuring artwork by beloved illustrator Garth Williams.
Armand, an old man living on the streets of Paris, is happy with his carefree existence, begging and doing odd jobs to keep himself warm and fed. With a life of simple pleasures, 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 find them a real home.
