No one can resist being friends with this zany character
The grumpy school nurse, Mrs. Weaver, gives Hiro a real scare when she tells him he can’t perform in the annual Christmas play.
But that doesn’t keep this small bundle of joy from doing his best to turn the female “scrooge” into a angel. In the process, his need to be the center of attention keeps his friends laughing in stitches, but one of his pranks nearly backfires, teaching him a lesson he’ll never forget.
In Hiro Plays Tiny Tim, children discover the gift of exhortation and that Hiro is a text book example. You will cheer for him at his dedication to his role as Tiny Tim Cratchit in the classic play, A Christmas Carol.
But even exhorters experience times when they too need encouraging. Sadness happens in Hiro’s family and Anna’s friends rally to encourage him as he works through the ordeal.
