"François the Waif" by George Sand is a heart-wrenching story from long ago about a young boy named François, who doesn't know who he is or where he comes from, and his journey to find a place where he truly belongs in a tough world. The story looks at big ideas like love and being kind, especially for kids who don't have much, all set in the countryside. Early in the tale, François is found by a woman named Madeleine Blanchet, who feels sorry for him right away and wants to help him. We also get to see the difficulties François faces with his mean adoptive mother, Zabelle, showing us how important it is to care for those who are in need.
