About the story

Philadelphia has a proposed Constitution to read and plenty of questions to ask. In a busy printer’s shop, Eli and his new friend Isaac plan a neighborhood gathering. Then a missing word changes their notice, rain threatens their plans, and listening proves harder than they expected. Who has been left out? How can people disagree fairly? Follow Limo through an adventure of ink, ideas, and one muddy paw print on the friends’ own promise.
