Summary
Something’s Happening in the City isa charming tale about the simple pleasures of enjoying the big little moments that life offers us every day.
Hannah loves taking her dog, Pippin, for a walk and ambling around the city. Everything is so beautiful in spring! Insects buzz busily through the air, and the sun shines brightly. Today, however, Hannah notices that something is not right; something is going on in the city.
Why is her neighbor, Carol, so
distracted as she greets her without even looking into her eyes? And those children sitting on that park bench, why don't they talk to each other or play?
Pippin and Hannah, curious, continue walking through the city trying to solve the mystery. Everyone seems to have something on their hands that takes them away from reality!
Determined to show others what they are missing —a very blue sky, the flowers hanging from the trees—Hannah carries out a plan.
