James Otis knows what it's like not having much. Still, he just has to find a little bit of something to share with Sarah, whose family has lost everything in a fire. But what does he have that she would want?
His beautiful sparking rock? Naw, that wouldn't help—you can't eat a rock.
His crayons? No way, even if only a few colors are missing.
Then he remembers what Reverend Dennis said one Sunday—What is given from the heart reaches the heart—and it gets him to thinking...
Here is a heartfelt picture book about the power of kindness and the joy of giving by a master storyteller and a renowned artist.
