Vanilla Ice Cream — Bob Graham

A wild sparrow's journey sets in motion a toddler's new experience in Bob Graham's tale of life's surprising little turns -- and unlikely connections.

Following some food, a curious young sparrow stows away in the back of a truck and takes an unusual voyage south -- through the lush rice paddies of India, across the rough sea, and all the way into a bright new day. As the sun rises high over the city, he finds little Edie at a café with her grandma and granddad, and for a fleeting instant, his world meets up with hers and changes her life in the most delightful way. From the masterful Bob Graham comes an invitation to notice the smallest of moments as they unfold around us, full of unexpected promise.
