When sisters Taylin and Paisyn balk at eating their peas one night at supper, Mom and Dad use the occasion as a teachable moment to help their daughters understand how much better off they are than many of the people in the rest of the world. In the discussion that follows, the girls learn of many practical ways to help others in need, such as charities, homeless shelters with free meals, donating money for housing construction and local support projects such as clothing, toy, and book drives. By the time supper is over, Taylin and Paisyn are excited about all the things they can do to help people who don’t have as much as they do, and they can’t wait to get started.
