(4) 4-6 In first grade, Ryan Hreljac raised money to build a well in Uganda where Akana Jimmy lost his parents to civil war. No detail is spared in this wordy book that chronicles the heartbreaking and inspirational story of the boys' cross-continental friendship, culminating in Jimmy coming to live with the Hreljacs in Canada. Colorful photographs and drawings decorate the pages.
