Mr. George Baker

Mr. George Baker tells the tender story of Harry, a young boy, and his extraordinary friend, Mr. George Baker, who is one hundred years old. Despite his age, Mr. Baker is vibrant, dancing and playing the drums, and shares a unique connection with Harry: they are both learning to read. Each morning, they sit on the porch, waiting for the school bus that will take them to their shared literacy class. This book beautifully explores themes of intergenerational friendship, perseverance, and the idea that it's never too late to learn something new. It's a gentle, uplifting read perfect for sparking conversations about age, friendship, and the value of education.
