Christiane Duchesne, illustrated by François Thisdale
Every afternoon at four o'clock, Mister Rodriguez steps out of a narrow laneway and strolls through the street. The village children watch him go, ever more curious about the enigmatic old man with the bushy white mustache. Some say they've seen him float above the ground. Others say he played a piano without touching a single key. The truth, though, is more beautiful than any of the children could have imagined. Author Christiane Duchesne and TD Canadian Children's Literature Award-winning illustrator François Thisdale bring a touching story to life with delicacy and heart. (From Pajama Press)
