But, instead, her father has to travel to Europe, leaving their Toronto home behind. His company has a plan to give Jewish refugees jobs as tailors so they can immigrate to Canada with their families. So Barbara gets left with her rabble-rousing brothers and her melancholy mother...and a peacock that has just moved into the backyard. Her mother won't go near it, and it clearly needs some other place to call home. The zoo says they don't have room for another animal, but they can't tell her how many they have. So what's one more? Barbara comes up with a plan involving peanut butter cookies and her trusty wagon to bring the peacock to a safe home at the zoo--before winter hits.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBased on the true story of the author's own grandfather, Sam Posluns, who, along with several other Jewish business leaders, created the \"Garment Workers' Scheme\" (aka The Tailor Project).
