Children and adults will delight in this gentle tale of human nature and life’s endless possibilities. Set in the 1990s, it is a trip back to a previous generation when cultural prejudice did not stand in the way of a great man’s hope for a great artist to do great things. Today, its hopeful message of openness to others is more relevant than ever. Jessica McCune fills spare moments volunteering with activities from storytelling to public art projects.
