Mr. Lionel Jenkins was well kwn for helping others. His genuine charming smile, and sparkling blue-eyes seemed to calm the most frightened and depressed souls, giving them comfort as they healed from their injuries. It was because he was a kindhearted soul that his conscience would t allow him to walk away from any living being who needed help. Lionel owned a nice small farm about twenty miles from town. On this farm lived horses, cows, pigs, chickens, ducks, a goose, and a myna bird whom Lionel named Nosy. The readers of this book will learn how Lionel and Nosy stamped out racism in a small country school.
