These three stories celebrate generosity and giving.
Whether it is Ramu on the streets of Calcutta , or Bob in a Massachusetts suburb, or Anansi in a West African village, the stories describe children who think about someone other than themselves. The stories teach that giving is not only the prerogative of the privileged, but instead is an example of the sincere human desire in all of us to provide and gift and bring joy to another.
We hope that these stories inspire our young readers to share the bounty in their lives with those who may not be as fortunate.
