We just finished reading this book aloud, and loved it. It's set in Paris, near the Notre Dame Cathedral. It led to discussions about the homeless, God's provision, France, what Catholics believe, the value of work, respect, dignity and responsibility. It was very sweet and if you need a book to read aloud for this time of year, it's perfect.In Oregon, Betsy & I ate lunch at a french bakery in Cottage Grove and this mural was on the wall of the bridge & the cathedral, right where the family lived at the beginning of the book.
