Powerhouses Jane Yolen and Floyd Cooper come together to tell this heartwarming story of an unexpected friendship.Every evening, old as she is, Miz Berlin walks down the long block, past Mary Louise's house, talking to herself. One day Mary Louise catches up to Miz Berlin and walks with her.

Now every evening, Mary Louise walks with Miz Berlin, then runs on home, stuffed full of her own stories to tell."This poignant book conveys through simple words the power of stories to build bridges between two very different people."Booklist "Yolen is pitch-perfect in her delivery of this tender tale."Publishers Weekly Noted author Jane Yolen invokes the magic of storytelling and the magic of a sharing between generations and races that leads to real friendship.
