The Gift is a heartwarming story for children of all ages. While sick in the hospital, Loxley finds a new friend in a stuffed bear named Patch. Loxley's one wish is to be the flower girl in her Aunt Sam's wedding, but there may not be a wedding at all. With the love that her family has for each other (and a little bit of help from Patch), will Loxley be able to convince Aunt Sam to have a real wedding?
This story will help adults explain, in a sensitive and caring way, what matters most and encourage connection with loved ones while they're still here.
