""Misery loves company,"""" Mama says to James Otis. It's been

a rough couple of months for them, but Mama says as long as they have their

health and strength, they're blessed. One Sunday before Valentine's Day,

Reverend Dennis makes an announcement during the service-- the Temples have

lost everything in a fire, and the church is collecting anything that might

be useful to them. James thinks hard about what he can add to the Temple's

""""love box,"""" but what does he have worth giving? With

her extraordinary gift for storytelling, McKissack--with stunning

illustrations by Harrison--delivers a touching, powerful tale of compassion

and reminds us all that what is given from the heart, reaches the heart.
