Nice Try, Charlie!
A picture book by Matt James.
Matt James
With his cart full of treasures and big green hat, Charlie is a neighborhood fixture. When he finds a pie, he sets off to find the owner — and helps some friends along the way.
Poignant and funny, this story is an ode to resourcefulness and the compassion that turns neighbors into friends. Charlie and his friends might not have much — but they have each other. (From Groundwood Books)
Matt James is a painter, illustrator and musician from Toronto. He illustrated the picture book When The Moon Comes written by Paul Harbridge and wrote and illustrated the picture book The Funeral.
