A best-selling author and illustrator pay tribute to the power of language and intergenerational bonds.George Baker and Harry donât seem the likeliest of friends. Yet, sitting side by side on Georgeâs porch, waiting for the school bus to come, the two have plenty in common, this hundred-year-old musician with the crookedy fingers going tappidy on his knees and the young schoolboy whose shoelaces always need tying. Theyâre both learning to read, which is hard â but whatâs easy is the warm friendship they share. In an inspired pairing, a best-selling author and illustrator pay tribute to the power of language and intergenerational bonds.
