Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

A new picture book about friendship and community from Matt James, acclaimed author and illustrator of The Funeral .

With his cart full of treasures and big green hat, Charlie is a neighborhood fixture. When he finds a pie, he sets off to find the owner -- and helps some friends along the way.

Poignant and funny, this story is an ode to resourcefulness and the compassion that turns neighbors into friends. Charlie and his friends might not have much -- but they have each other.
