Bookroo's summary

Franklin faces a dilemma with his first school project: capturing what he loves most about his neighborhood. As friends choose the library and pond, Franklin ponders the fire station and park. Ultimately, he discovers it's the people, not the places, that truly matter. What will Franklin's picture reveal about his heart and home?

From the publisher

In this Franklin Classic Storybook, Franklin’s first school project is to create a picture of what he likes best about his neighborhood. Franklin can’t decide what to draw. Beaver chooses the library and Moose decides on the pond. Franklin likes those places, too. But what about the fire station? Or the park? After considering all the many choices, Franklin finally decides that it’s the people, rather than the places, that make his neighborhood so special.
