In this book, The Gift of Reaching Out, Yankele thinks back to the time he did not give his seat to an older man on the bus. With his mom's guidance, he is determined to find this person, to apologize for being inconsiderate. The rest of the story is quite surprising. (Read the prequel "A Seat on the Bus" also by Aviva Hermelin) for story of what happened to Yankele on the bus.)
