When you are small you can see things that grown-ups are too busy to notice . . . Everyone walks right past Pete - except for one little boy. He notices Pete's drawings, and big smile, and soon he has a new friend. When Pete gets sick, the boy wants to help. But how do you help someone get better when they don't have a home? A heartfelt, moving story about the importance of really seeing the world around us and the power in tiny acts of kindness.
