This delightful story of tolerance is set during the creation of the awe-inspiring Watts Towers. Illustrator Peter Hamlin has captured their unique whimsy with magical full-color drawings. This is the story of Barry, a lad who arouses resentment in his classmates because he can do something they cannot. He can read! Fatherless, he finds inspiration from the gentle folk wisdom of an Italian immigrant, Sam Rodia, creator of the astonishing Watts Towers.
