Lumpy’s Gift

In this light-hearted fable Lumpy, a lump of clay, is taken from his home by a well meaning potter who does “terrible” things to Lumpy. But by the end Lumpy has become something wonderful, something he never knew he wanted to be. Lumpy’s Gift is a delightful fable about how all those little things people make us do (like school, exercise, and eating right) help make it possible to find our true potential. The book includes a parent and teacher’s discussion guide to the story and an introduction to the basics of pottery.
