This review is from: Dear Mr. Henshaw (Spanish edition rpkg): Querido Senor Henshaw (Paperback)

I collect, gather, buy etc... school supplies for an orphanage in Guatemala. This classic story, which I read as a kid, is beautiful, simple story that teaches about friendship is an easy enough read for younger kids, but the message still rings true for adults.
