leona

ah this is a really scary book mom yeah

it's the scariest book i've seen in my

entire life

girls girls girls breathe in and out

now

i'm sure this book is not as scary as

you think why don't i look at it with

you okay okay all right

red parka mary written by peter avenson

illustrated by ryan brynjolson

at first i was scared of her she didn't

hide behind the trees waiting to pop out

and scare me

nor did she ever try to chase after me

but there was something about her that

scared me

[Music]

[Applause]

it might have been the way mary dressed

she always wore big floppy moccasins

lined with rabbit fur thick ray wool

socks and three or four sweaters heavily

darned at the elbow she was missing four

or five front teeth and her skin was

brown and wrinkled

sometimes she would wave

but every time that happened i would get

embarrassed and rush off her home

i must have done that for what seemed

like years

until the time i heard her call

take these to your mom

she said as she held a pill of choke

cherries

i stood there in the middle of the road

with my mouth hanging open not moving

and not knowing what to do

mary eventually carried the pail halfway

plunked it down on the edge of the road

and shuffled back to her front door

should i take them or should i leave

them

finally i decided that maybe mom would

know what to do with them

she did

when that pill of chokecherries turned

into jelly and ended up on the breakfast

table

i decided that maybe mary wasn't so

scary after all

for the first time on the way home from

school that afternoon

i stopped when she waved at me from her

front step

[Music]

hi mary i said

hey mister

come here for a minute

she held out a piece of warm freshly

baked bread sprinkled generously with

white sugar

[Music]

we sat on the top step and talked or at

least she talked i mostly listened

i found out why mary wore four sweaters

that was all she owned

only in the summertime did her four

sweaters make her feel comfortable

in winter unless she was baking bread

she was always cold

it was getting close to christmas when i

decided that i was going to do something

special for mary

downtown i saw the perfect parka in

henderson's storefront window

it was bright red with a fur-lined hood

early on christmas eve i hurried over to

mary's shack carrying my big bundle

wrapped in brown paper and tied with a

big red ribbon

merry merry christmas i shouted outsider

shaq

watch this mister

i held out the package and she shyly

took it from me

come here

right in front of her wood stove she

ripped off the paper and pulled out the

bright red parka

quickly she pulled it on over her

sweaters and for a moment we stood

awkwardly staring at each other

mom says for me to ask you to come over

for christmas dinner

four o'clock

[Music]

hey mister

tomorrow i'm gonna give you the biggest

gift in the whole wide world

do you know what it is

no

tomorrow for christmas dinner

i'll bring it but you'll have to guess

that night instead of wondering when

santa was going to arrive i wondered

about mary's special gift

what was the biggest and best thing in

the whole wide world

[Music]

at four o'clock even before mary could

knock on her door i threw it open and

yelled

is it as big as buckingham palace

far bigger than buckingham palace

and far more valuable but

it doesn't take up any space at all

gold

more valuable than gold

and besides gold is too heavy to carry

this you can take with you wherever you

go

she poked your hand into the pocket of

her tattered old sweater and pulled out

the smallest box i'd ever seen

open it

for a moment i held it wondering how

this could be the biggest and best

present ever

when i took off the lid

i found a single small red heart-shaped

bead laying on a bed of white rabbit fur

that little heart mister

stands for love

i can always give you love

i took her love that day as she folded

her grandmother arms around me and

squeezed me tight

and it was then that i knew that i loved

the way she dressed

her straggly gray hair

her missing teeth

and even her wrinkled skin

the end

there now that wasn't so scary was it no

i thought mary looked a little scary at

first but she wasn't scary at all no

yeah i love that red parka mary good see

you two later

bye bye what do you want to do now i

don't know maybe we could find some red

hats or something yeah and a parka
