🎁 About the Book

Harold complains about receiving the "wrong" gift and learns a hard, humbling lesson about appreciating what he has instead of focusing on what he doesn't.

Harold Mitchell is ten years old and had his heart set on the ultimate gaming accessory. When he gets a knitted sweater instead, his very loud, very public reaction hurts someone he cares about deeply.

This is the story of what happens when entitlement takes over, and the hilarious, slightly painful reality of learning to say "thank you" and actually mean it.

Target Age: 9–10 (Arc 2: The Growth Years)

  • Harold takes many good things in his life for granted.
