a witness to beautiful

"Sometimes when you're surrounded by dirt, CJ, you're a better witness for what's beautiful."

CJ saw the perfect rainbow arcing over their soup kitchen. He wondered how his nana always found beautiful where he never even thought to look.

  This is one of those kids books that has depth in the illustrations as well as the content. It was just given to us, and I like it much more than I expected to - knowing nothing about it till I picked it up. I'd highly recommend it.
