Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the concept of fairness or showing signs of 'keeping score' with siblings and friends. It is a perfect tool for addressing the root of greed versus the beauty of spontaneous generosity. This classic folktale retelling follows a rich man and a poor woman who are both granted a magical gift: whatever they begin doing in the morning, they will continue doing all day long. Through the humorous lens of magic, the story explores the themes of karma and integrity. While the poor woman's morning of humble work leads to unexpected bounty, the rich man's attempts to 'game the system' through greed result in a hilarious but pointed lesson. It is an accessible chapter book for ages 6 to 9 that uses wit rather than lectures to model why a kind heart matters more than a full pocket.
