Beschreibung
Synopsis: COVID-19 has struck and Sam Cameron (9) who lives in a Victorian three-story apartment house with his widowed mother and little sister, is at home all the time. Sam sees a TV story about signs being placed in yards to honor essential workers. He decides to paint one, and his life changes for the better. Without lessons or training, Sam begins creating amazing pieces of art. He finds out that a neighbor who has passed from COVID-19 had always thought of him as SamCam, so he signs his art with that moniker. The other tenants in the house begin to get acquainted with the Camerons and friendships and love begin to bloom.
Sam's story ends with a hopeful message he places at the bottom of his favorite piece of art.
