nWhat do you do about a peacock in your backyard? n nWorld War II has just ended and Barbara is waiting for things to get back to normal. But, instead, her father has to travel to Europe, leaving their Toronto home behind. His company has a plan to give Jewish refugees jobs as tailors so they can immigrate to Canada with their families. So Barbara gets left with her rabble-rousing brothers and her melancholy mother...and a peacock that has just moved into the backyard. Her mother wont go near it, and it clearly needs some other place to call home. The zoo says they dont have room for another animal, but they cant tell her how many they have. So whats one more? Barbara comes up with a plan involving peanut butter cookies and her trusty wagon to bring the peacock to a safe home at the zoo--before winter hits.n nBased on the true story of the authors own grandfather, Sam Posluns, who, along with several other Jewish business leaders, created the Garment Workers Scheme (aka The Tailor Project). This was a way of unlocking Canadas harsh immigration laws and providing many refugees with a safer and happier future.n n nWhat do you do about a peacock in your backyard? n nWorld War II has just ended and Barbara is waiting for things to get back to normal.
