Synopsis: A simple, inspiring story about solving problems from the bestselling author of A Stranger For Christmas. Robert is delighted when he successfully solves his first math problem at school—one plus one equals two. He thinks his work is done—but he&’s about to learn that there are plenty more problems to solve… This inspiring, national bestselling fable brings us back to the world of homework assignments, classroom desks, and cafeteria food to remind us that grownups face problems every day and show how to solve them. You may no longer have to puzzle over what happens when two trains are approaching Cleveland, with one leaving at 1:00 P.M. and traveling at 50 mph…but perhaps you&’re struggling with waking up fourteen days in a row wondering if it&’s worth it to get out of bed, or why you feel like you&’re giving 100% to a relationship and getting only 30% in return. Beautifully illustrated and told in the straightforward tradition of a classic fable, The Lesson is an uplifting tale that can help you rediscover the joy of finally finding the right answer.
