I also like the idea that we as readers get to see the gratitude and the impact the bike has on the subsequent owners, even though the ones donating the bike don't. In real life, we usually have to just trust that when we donate, it helps others without really knowing, so this story is a nice affirmation!Laura Boffahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01315434707302190482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722037294375418886.post-22652425335483886442015-02-26T18:02:00.749-06:002015-02-26T18:02:00.749-06:00I think the concrete examples really help kids see...I think the concrete examples really help kids see how one item can make a difference.
