Just One Gift

In her latest work, Newbery Medalist Linda Sue Park weaves together a tapestry of voices through linked poems, delving into themes of community and gratitude. When a classroom assignment prompts students to reflect on a meaningful gift for someone special, each unique response unveils heartfelt connections and transformative moments. Accompanied by Robert Sae-Heng's evocative black-and-white illustrations, this accessible verse invites readers to explore how our lives are enriched by the people we encounter, making it a poignant standalone story as well as a companion to The One Thing You’d Save.
