Summary:The assignment: If you could give someone in your life the perfect present--just one gift--what would it be? Some students answer right away. A few take more time to consider. Certain choices spark lively conversation; others are revealed only in private journal pages. But all are as heartfelt as they are unexpected. In accessible verse that highlights transformative moments of connection, Linda Sue Park celebrates the ways--big and small, obvious and unanticipated--our lives are enriched by the people we encounter. Robert Sae-Heng contributes black-and-white art to this engaging standalone read that is also a welcomed companion to the popular The One Thing You'd Save.
