Description

Best. Friends. Forever.

Harry may be four and three-quarters and Walter may be ninety-two and a half, but that doesn鈥檛 stop them from being best friends. Harry loves to go next door to play games with Walter and draw pictures together. And when the snow falls, Walter clears a path to Harry鈥檚 house so that they can visit every day. But one day, a For Sale sign appears on Harry鈥檚 lawn. Harry is devastated that he and Walter will no longer be neighbors. Harry鈥檚 new house is bigger and better than his old one, but without Walter to share things with, nothing seems to be much fun . . . until one day, Harry hears a familiar voice. Walter, too, has moved鈥攖o a nearby seniors鈥� residence. Now, Harry and Walter can still be best friends.

Acclaimed author Kathy Stinson has created a poignant, cross-generational story that will warm the hearts of children and adults alike.

With charming illustrations by Qin Leng, Harry and Walter is a perfect book for children to share with grandparents.
