Cynthia Rylant has been writing children's books since the early eighties. Since I've been visiting the children's section of the library for the past few years (my toddler is now three), I've picked up a few of her books along the way. She is a great storyteller.
This book is the story about a young boy named Nat, and how he unexpectedly helps out his elderly neighbor, Miss Maggie. My favorite lines from this charming book are as follows:
"If his feet had listened to his head, Nat would have bounded out of that house in a flash. But his feet weren't listening. Only his heart."
Open up your heart to this sweet gem of a book, and you won't be disappointed.

Our library has a ton of books by her so I'm going to check her out. I'll let you know what we think!
