When he organizes a peaceful protest outside a local fur salon, he's shocked to see his beloved Grandma Judy wearing a fur coat. Can mutual understanding and trust help Robert and Grandma Judy help them find common ground in a very difficult situation
Author Barbara Seuling deftly blends humor and drama with a simple, resonant moral in a story that is sure to appeal to young readers.
