About This Book

A small, cheerful girl cares for her blind grandfather in a cramped one-room home at the elbow of a narrow river lane, keeping their space shipshape amid a ragged but affectionate neighborhood. When a well-intentioned visitor seeks to remove them to a more comfortable house, the child flees, prompting local street children and concerned neighbors to mount a search. The narrative follows the ensuing journey, encounters with unexpected helpers and refuges, and the community ties that sustain them, concluding with a hopeful, reconciliatory resolution that emphasizes loyalty, kindness, and practical resourcefulness.
