Sammy
Sammy's mind wasn't on his work. He was thinking about something far away from this corn patch—about three things, to tell the truth. The first thing was a pair of new shoes that cost two dollars. The second thing was a pair of new blue britches that cost one dollar. The third thing was a blue-and-white striped shirt that cost one dollar. Four dollars in all. Sammy sighed deeply. Even his best shirt and britches were so patched up they looked like a crazy quilt.
Sammy’s dream is to have new clothes for Last Day of School, for he has a special part in the program! He will sing and play his banjo in front of all the people.
Sammy is a heartwarming tale of a little boy who dares to dream, works hard to accomplish his goals, and is blessed with kindness from others.

As soon as we finished the book we had to do a search for the song Sammy sang for Mr. Songcatcher. When we couldn’t find it, we took the book to the piano and played the simple tune included on one of the pages. It was fun to hear what the song sounded like. The kids were especially happy that Sammy was paid for singing the song so the man could write it down.
