Emma’s Gems
Emma’s Gems
Written by Anne Renaud, Illustrated by Leanne Franson
Emma loves her grandfather, and the moments she shares with him are always filled with beautiful discoveries. That’s because Grandpa Phil is so wise. He even knows how to change ordinary stones into precious gems. By using these stones to carry out three acts of kindness every day, Grandpa Phil demonstrates to his granddaughter the importance of helping people, animals, and the environment.
