Product Description
Walking to school can be hard if you live in Belfast, Northern Ireland. It's downright dangerous if you're a Catholic, like Allison, and the shortest route to your school goes through a Protestant neighborhood. But sometimes a ray of kindness cuts through the violence. That's what happens when a demonstrator rips a brass button off Allison's new school blazer, and a Protestant girl not only retrieves the button but returns it to Allison.
Once again, as in FLY AWAY HOME and the caldecott-winning SMOKY NIGHT, Eve Bunting finds a way to explore a complicated contemporary situation in terms that any young reader can immediately grasp.

I've been waiting for this! November 16, 2008
This is what all picture books should be. A perfect blend of words and pictures makes this story come alive! Eve Bunting's lilting words and Michael Dooling's breathtaking pictures are like being there!
I am currently preparing to use this for presentations with 5th and 6th graders, middle schoolers,parents and teachers.
I am a storyreader or, as Eve Bunting would say, a Shanachie. I tour schools around the country and I can't wait to use this one!!
