It's been   a rough couple of months for them, but Mama says as long as they have their   health and strength, they're blessed. One Sunday before Valentine's Day,   Reverend Dennis makes an announcement during the service-- the Temples have   lost everything in a fire, and the church is collecting anything that might   be useful to them. James thinks hard about what he can add to the Temple's   \"\"love box,\"\" but what does he have worth giving? With   her extraordinary gift for storytelling, McKissack--with stunning   illustrations by Harrison--delivers a touching, powerful tale of compassion   and reminds us all that what is given from the heart, reaches the heart.\u003cb\u003eCORETTA SCOTT KING – JOHN STEPTOE \u003cb\u003eILLUSTRATOR \u003c\/b\u003eAWARD FOR NEW TALENT \u003cb\u003eWINNER \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"\u003c\/i\u003eHarrison’s cozy collage-and-pen illustrations warmly express the healing power of giving and gratitude in this posthumous work by McKissack.”\u003ci\u003e—The New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A sweet story, one of the legendary McKissack's last, enhanced by delectable art from a prodigious new talent.\"—\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews, \u003c\/i\u003estarred review\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This final book by the late McKissack (\u003ci\u003eLet’s Clap, Jump, Sing \u0026amp; Shout\u003c\/i\u003e) showcases the legendary author’s signature lyricism in full force and receives a stunning, aesthetically ambitious interpretation by Harrison, a fine artist making her picture book debut.\"—\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly, \u003c\/i\u003estarred review\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eWhat Is Given from the Heart \u003c\/i\u003eis a loving tribute to collective work, responsibility and the joy that comes from giving freely from the heart.\"—\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness, \u003c\/i\u003estarred review\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A treasure from a marvelous storyteller.\"—\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal, \u003c\/i\u003estarred review\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“[An] exquisite story of generosity from the beloved McKissack… Harrison has created soft yet dazzling illustrations for this tribute to faith, hope and the African-American community.” —\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e Book ReviewPATRICIA C.
