You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown is a heartwarming and funny look at life through the eyes and wisdom of the iconic Charles M. Schulz. From bright uncertain mornings to hopeful starlit evenings, blockhead Charlie Brown, bossy Lucy, prodigy Schroeder, perfectionist Sally, blanket-toting Linus and loveable Snoopy all show us the lessons we learn through our everyday life before finally coming to realize what truly makes us happy!
