Helping Hands
Downtown is a fun place for Martin and Sylvia. There is the library, the bakery, Momma’s office and the Town Community Center, where they will occasionally serve soup and bread to those who need a little help. On this visit to town, however, it is little Sylvia that unexpectedly needs a helping hand. Parent Note: In this story, Sylvia gets momentarily separated from her family. There is a moment of nervousness when Sylvia realizes she can't see her parents. But Momma and Daddy have taught her what to do in this situation, and she does it beautifully. She is very quickly reunited with Momma, Daddy and Martin. The story teaches smart choices for lost children, and gives a picture of a loving and helpful community.
