Will You Hold My Story - Joy, Kathy

. .

Résumé :
As Meggi Beth rests on a step, the street carries a variety of neighbors to her, all of them lost in their own thoughts. . . Why is everyone so busy? Too busy to hear a little girl's story. When a lovely dog approaches little Meggi Beth, we are reminded that a youngster needs a pet and that pets make excellent listening buddies. With the wisdom of Shel Silverstein's Where the Sidewalk Ends, Meggi Beth offers up a poetic urban wit. Even Mr. Rogers would be proud because it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood!
