Young families and kids today need to know that they are part of something, part of a bigger community.  This community is made up of other people who live near and around you.  When a person/family needs help, the community is there to support them.  And it works both ways:  you get support when you need it and you give support to others when they need it.  The theme of community is taught in the primary grades and it is a difficult concept for kids to understand.  Especially those in families who move frequently; they haven’t really had a chance to experience community.  It’s a give and take relationship. This book explains the concept in a gentle way that hopefully kids can relate to.
