What Happened to Benjamin A True Story

This is the true story of a mother's mistake & the kind man who helped her undo it; it will move everyone who has ever parented a child. The author threw out her seven-year old son's favorite stuffed animal because she thought he had outgrown Benjamin. Shocked by her son's devastation as he saw his long-missing friend tumbling out of a barrel into the 80-foot pit at the dump, she knew she needed to retrieve him. It would have been impossible without the extraordinary actions of a persistent, compassionate stranger. Vividly told, this rich story of close family life on many levels is illustrated professionally by an artist who worked primarily from family photos. Children as young as three have been raptly held by this dramatic story. An accompanying audio tape read by the author is available from Inland Book Co. for $9.98. (Its ISBN is 0-9622808-3-6).
