O' Little Town of Bellingham. Maybe when we are very young we hear what we want to.  It is 1945 and Rufus and his friend Tommy are out on a cold clear night in December,  looking for something special.  This is the story of a young boy who leaves his sheltered Quaker farm community in Iowa and learns more about the "real world" and injustice. There is a lot more in this chapter book for ages seven and up.   A new book in series is now available.
