About the Book
Ash is a curious kid who isn’t afraid to ask questions. Yesterday, at church, her Mommy—the pastor of their church—mentioned a word she was curious about, so she asked about it! A neighbor whose car breaks down in an intersection answers the question. A neighbor who fell off his scooter answers the question. A neighbor with an invitation for dinner answers the question. But it is Charlie, a loving and wise neighbor, who explains to Ash what she really wants to know. We are all the Anawim—we’re all in need of love! Come along for a walk around the neighborhood and into the wonder of being loved by God, into the wonder of our human diversity, and into the wonder of mending our broken world.
