Board book
Description
The year: 1943. The place: Manhattan. Linus Muller works at the family grocery store in the east 70s.
When his oldest brother, Albie, leaves to fight in World War II, Linus takes over the grocery deliveries.
One of his customers is an artist from somewhere in Europe who arranges to have a crate of oranges delivered every other week.
Over the course of these deliveries, an intimacy develops between Linus and the man, whom he knows only by the name he gives him, Mister Orange.
In the peacefulness of Mister Orange's spare kitchen, they discuss the war, the future, freedom and imagination.
Through these conversations, Linus begins to grow up as he wrestles with the realities of war and the place of comic books, superheroes and the imagination in human life.
