The moments Emma shares with Grandpa Phil are always filled with beautiful discoveries. That is because her grandfather knows so much. He even knows how to change ordinary stones into precious gems... (From Peanut Butter Press)
From the book
"Why do you carry stones in your pockets?" Emma asks finally, crinkling her eyebrows.
"Oh! but these are no ordinary stones. These are my generosity gems," says Grandpa Phil as he slips his hand into his pocket and pulls out all three stones.
"My gems remind me that every day brings new opportunities to do things for others.
The grey one reminds me to share with a person. The brown one reminds me to help an animal. And the white one reminds me to take care of the environment.
Every day, I do my best to make them travel from my right pocket into my left with three acts of kindness."
