Miss Pinkeltink's purse

written by Patty Brozo ; illustrated by Ana Ochoa

Generous and eccentric, Miss Pinkeltink fills her huge purse with everything from a toilet plunger to roller skates, and then gives it all away. She offers tape to fix a flat tire and a bone to a kitty: Miss Pinkeltink's gifts never quite hit the mark, but she gave what she had, and she gave from the heart. And then, with nothing left to give or to shelter herself, she huddles on a park bench, trying to sleep in the rain. And that's where Zoey sees her from her bedroom window and knows that something must be done. From its humorous opening through its sad midpoint and uplifting end, Miss Pinkeltink's story shines a light on humanity
