In New Orleans, there lived a man who saw the streets as his calling, and he swept them clean. He danced up one avenue and down another and everyone danced along-the old ladies whistled and whirled. The old men hooted and hollered. The barbers, bead-twirlers, and beignet bakers bounded behind that one-man parade. But then came the rising Mississippi-and a storm greater than anyone had seen before.

Phil Bildner and John Parra tell the inspiring story of a humble man, and the heroic difference he made in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
