We often learn our most important lessons when we are challenged by something that removes us from our comfort zone. Sometimes we, as adults, find ourselves open to growth while struggling with events that are happening directly to us, but growth can also occur while viewing challenges through the eyes of others.

Produktbeschreibung
We often learn our most important lessons when we are challenged by something that removes us from our comfort zone. Sometimes we, as adults, find ourselves open to growth while struggling with events that are happening directly to us, but growth can also occur while viewing challenges through the eyes of others. All of us have been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic in unique yet similar ways. As difficult as it has been for adults, children have been impacted as well, viewing the pandemic through a different lens. They have been forced to accept a new reality, both in and out of school. However, it can also open a door to growth in ways we did not anticipate. Seeing the ways their peers cope with changes in their own lives can provide new and eye-opening insights on how to meet their own challenges. This insight may enable them to develop a sense of empathy and kindness. This is a heart-warming tale about a little boy with a big heart who learns some important life lessons. Against the backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic, he comes to see that not everyone is as fortunate as him and his family. He also learns the lesson that in giving, we also receive…and that giving, when you have, or when you make, the opportunity, often gives us a feeling of warmth and home.
Autorenporträt
Shelley Hansen is a retired teacher who taught special education for seventeen years. She was proud to receive the Starfish Award which recognizes the importance of making a difference, one "fish" at a time. She lives in Simsbury, Connecticut with her husband of 49 years. The family picture includes three adult children, their spouses, and five precious grandchildren. Shelley is often happiest when her grandchildren are sitting on her lap, cuddling as she reads a story to them. When the Covid-19 pandemic kept her from giving "in person" hugs to them, she began writing them personalized stories so that they might still be able to feel her love surround them. This is one such story.
