Jesse’s Surprise Gift

A story about not holding on to things too tightly, and the surprises that can happen when we dare to let go.

What Jesse wants most is a guitar. His mom can’t afford to buy him one, so she gives him an ocarina instead. What happens next reveals the power of generosity to change both giver and receiver. This is also a story about not holding on to things too tightly, and the surprises that can happen when we dare to let go.
