When Kevin comes to live with his cousin Jonathan and his family, Jonathan isn't very happy. The newcomer arrives with no parents, no luggage -- not even a toothbrush. Jonathan has to share everything with Kevin -- his clothes, his bedroom, his mother, even his school. Nothing is the same after Kevin arrives! When Jonathan gets angry and asks his mother why he has to share so much with Kevin, she tells him "because you're lucky". This is a simple story of how families can change and grow in ways that they are lucky to discover.
