Olive and the Embarrassing Gift
by Tor Freeman
Age: Preschool-1st grade
When Olive is gifted an awkward fitting, unusual hat by Joe, all the other kids laugh at her. When Joe sees Olive stuffing it in the trash can, he walks away hurt. But Olive decides to make an obnoxiously large sign to wear around that proclaims "Olive and Joe are best friends" and she looks "really silly now." Although the message is honest (portraying a friend's well-intentioned gift as ugly) there is no mention of any redeeming qualities of it, just that Olive doesn't like to see Joe being sad. Sometimes we have to sacrifice our image to show our dedication to our friends.
