Shira opens young readers' minds to the incredible gift of giving. Shira gives wholeheartedly, not expecting to receive anything in return. It is wonderful to see such kindness in such a young child. Before deciding what to do, Shira thinks it through. She asks herself what would be best. Shira's thought before action is also a powerful message for our young children. This really lovely story takes place during the beautiful festival of Tu B'shvat.
