A sweet and wholesome story of Karl, who takes pride in delivering books daily from the local bookstore where he works, to his customers. One day when on his rounds Karl makes friends with a small girl named Shasha, who refuses to stop following him. She and his customers soon become firm friends, as Shasha tries to solve all their problems in her own way.

A lovely little adventure of unlikely friendships and people helping each other in times of need. A comforting hug of a book.

The narrator had a nice gravely tone, which really lent itself to this heartwarming tale.
