Finders Keepers? A True Story in India by Robert Arnett, illustrated by Smita Turakhia
For ages 5-8
This is a very sweet story. We are very select about the children's books we carry - they must convey the fundamental principals of goodness and truth - and be fun to read.
Robert Arnett, was inspired to create Finders Keepers? by the innocence of a child he encountered in a village in India. The boy returned to the author his lost wallet and would not accept a reward. The concept of accepting a reward for doing the right thing made no sense to him! This book is wonderfully illustrated throughout with gorgeous paintings. Finders Keepers? would make a lovely gift if you are looking for something that presents universal values of honesty, respect, doing the right thing, and brotherhood - and that children will love reading.
