From the #1 New York Times bestselling authors of An Invisible Thread comes the true, heartfelt, and extraordinary story of how one woman's decision to help a boy on the street changed both of their lives forever.

In this sweet picture book, Laura retells the first Christmas that she and Maurice spent together. She shares how Maurice gave her a small white bear--as she later learns, the only thing he had that he could truly call his own--to show her how grateful he was for their friendship.
