Maria Shriver shows extraordinary
sensitivity in this story of ordinary
Kate and her friendship with a
mentally retarded child. Kate is
introduced to Timmy when she and
her mother go to the park. At first
Kate is uneasy with Timmy,
because he looks and acts
'different.' Soon, though, they
discover that they do have quite a
bit in common and are laughing and
playing together.
