LOUIE
Greenwillow, 1978 (Now Viking)
Sometimes, quite without warning, one can look up and see someone, or something, that one loves with all one's heart. That is exactly what happens to Louie at the puppet show put on by Susie and Roberto for the neighborhood kids. Everyone is there, hushed and excited as Roberto’s mouse puppet introduces Susie’s “Gussie” puppet. And that is when Louie—whom no one has ever heard speak--opens his heart to “Gussie” with a big hello and a smile of recognition.
