Everyone loves Curtis!
Curtis has been delivering mail for forty-two years. Today is his last day. And all the mailboxes along his route are filled with surprises.
But the very real surprise is at the very last house on the very last street.
"A charming book that evokes the best of a community. Words and art perform an affectionate duet. "--Kirkus
