- Summary:
- "Front porches, family cars, playgrounds, swimming pools: from such familiar haunts of childhood, these stories look out on the world through young eyes and hearts. Wise beyond their years-or soon to be-Ruthie, Omar, J.J., and the other kids in these stories veer in and out of touching distance to learn hard lessons about trust, love, and mortality. However engaged or aloof, grownups are always nearby. Far-from-perfect emissaries to the realm of adulthood, they pose questions for children even as they offer answers"-- Provided by publisher.
