A Tree for Peter by Kate Seredy*

 Peter and his mother live in Shantytown with many other squatters. The buildings are leaning, dirty, and ugly. People are despondent. Peter, who walks with a limp, fears everything. Then one day King Peter arrives and offers him hope and joy. Because of King Peter's encouraging words, small Peter transforms Shantytown.

A sweet story that reinforces the power of beauty and of hope.

*Highly recommend. . .I am not sure if modern readers will appreciate this story, but it is worth sharing and trying!
