Synopsis

Why is all the fruit missing from Ames and Allie’s garden?
Who could be so hungry that they had to take it all?

When Ames and Allie discover that someone has taken the fruit from their garden, they are faced with a big problem—and a choice.

Instead of rushing to judgment, they begin to wonder about the story behind what happened. As they encounter someone very different from themselves, Ames and Allie discover what it means to have compassion and to see that there may be more to a situation than meets the eye.

But compassion doesn't mean they have to simply accept a problem. Together, they discover that they can make a difference. By thinking creatively, making thoughtful choices, and working together, they find a way to help.

The Fruit Galoot introduces children to two BIG words—COMPASSION and RESOLUTION—and shows them what these words can look and feel like in real life.

Part of the BIG Words With BIG Meaning series, The Fruit Galoot is a beautifully illustrated story that helps children understand important values, recognize compassion within themselves, and discover that their choices matter.

Includes BIG Words definitions and discussion questions to help children take the meaning of the story beyond the pages and into their own lives.
