The Family Under the Bridge
Natalie Savage Carlson
Armand, an old Parisian living on the streets, cherishes his solitary, carefree life, preferring to avoid all responsibilities, especially children. However, just before Christmas, he returns to his favorite spot beneath a bridge to find it occupied by three cold and hungry children—Suzy, Paul, and Evelyne—and their mother, Madame Calcet, who have been recently evicted. Although initially annoyed, Armand's heart softens, and he reluctantly begins to care for the small, unhoused family. As he helps them, his adventures around Paris lead him to realize that he has found a ready-made family he loves, and he must do whatever it takes to find them a permanent home.
