Everett doesn't know what to do. Everyday his new friend, Greg, shows up at school with a new bruise or some other mark. Greg seems so sad, but Everett doesn't want to make things worse for Greg, but he certainly wants to help. This picture book details Everett's struggle and the love that his home can extend to others.

I'm a little iffy on this. I was really interested in the content, but I think it could have been executed better. It is a good lesson in caring and concern for others, but the subject matter is best for school-age children.
