The Boy On The Porch by Sharon Creech

The Boy On The Porch by Sharon Creech, 151 pages

The Boy on the Porch is a sweet story with a wonderful message about a special couple John and Marta who find a young mute boy on their porch one day.  John and Marta care and nurture the boy until one day his father returns.  They grieve deeply for the boy that is taken from them but turn it into a positive by fostering more children.  This is a story with a special message and  beautiful symbolism with the children's shoes.  Both children and adults will be touched by this story.
