Aprašymas

Henry has a problem fitting in.

A BIG problem.

Will he ever feel accepted?

John Gartner has led a storied life as a teacher, principal and stunt-man. As a

stunt man, he appeared in many iconic TV shows of the 1950s and 1960s. He

has a Master's Degree in Elementary Administration from Providence College

and worked for many years at a school that catered to children with special needs.

The author is 92 years old and though battling interstitial lung disease and

heart disease, continues to enjoy writing, reading, conversation, and looking at

his outdoor bird friends. The story is based on a hurtful time when, as a child,

he was told he could no longer visit his aunts' house because his voice was too

loud. He wants both children and adults to know that sometimes it is possible to

triumph over adversity, but that you should never give up.
