In Karin’s kindergarten class Leslie stands apart at first. She’s smaller than her classmates, wears a hearing aid, and reads with her nose close to the book. Leslie is handicapped. The book is a sensitive portrait of a young friendship and of a captivating child for whom the word “handicapped” has no meaning.
