Garlic Bread for Eugene

Michael Heath brings us the heartwarming and uplifting story of Henry and Eugene, all wrapped up in the foil and memory of their late father. Garlic Bread for Eugene focuses on Henry's courageous decision on the last day of school to sacrifice his perfect attendance award to help younger brother, Eugene, make garlic bread, Dad's specialty, for the school picnic. As Henry pedals away from school and the bell rings, his epic journey begins. What ingredients go into garlic bread? A little garlic, a pinch of oregano, a dab of neighborly help—all buttered with stories teaching Henry about his father, his neighborhood, and himself. Henry learns that making decisions with conviction in an effort to "do the right thing" holds merit, and may be just what was needed to help his brother and himself come to terms with the death of their father.
