Summary
Page 1: Osh, six, raced up the mountain. Ish, four, chased after him. “Wait, Osh!” she called. Their family had drifted apart, but a storm was coming. Page 2: Rain poured. The river swelled. “Mama, will the water take our house?” Ish whispered. XH hugged her. “We’ll be okay, sweetheart.” Page 3: The town wasn’t okay. Osh frowned. “Everything’s ruined.” DH put a hand on his shoulder. “Not everything. We have each other.” Page 4: Then Ish pointed. “What’s in there?” A warehouse, full of clothes. XH held up a coat. “We can save these.” DH smiled. “For the town.” Page 5: For days, they sorted and washed. “This jacket is perfect for Mr. Jones!” Osh said. “Ms. Annie will love these boots!” Ish twirled. Page 6: As Christmas neared, the store shined with lights. “Let’s make it special!” Ish cheered. People came, smiling, hugging, thankful. Page 7: On Christmas Eve, the store filled with laughter. “Best Christmas ever,” Osh said. DH chuckled. “Better than presents?” Ish grinned. “Giving is better!” Page 8: After the holidays, DH had an idea. “How ‘bout the rodeo?” Osh gasped. “Barrel racing!” Ish clapped. “Cowboys!” Page 9: At the rodeo, they met Mae. “Your outfits are so pretty!” Ish said. Mae beamed. “I sew them myself.” “Teach us?” Osh asked. Page 10: Mae showed them how to sew. “Snip, stitch, tada!” she said. Osh made a bag. Ish decorated a dress. Page 11: As the sun set, DH hugged XH. “We’re a family again,” he said. XH smiled. “And we have a town full of friends.” Page 12: The store stayed open, always giving. Osh, Ish, XH, and DH learned— Family, like love, only grows when shared.
