Follow the adventures of Gift and Box as they travel from Grandma's house to Sofia's front door!

Gift and Box are a package, dropped off with love from Grandma at the local post office. But being a package together on a long postal voyage is not always easy. There are ships to board, oceans to cross and bumpy truck rides! Can Gift and Box arrive in one piece?

Come along for the ride on this delightful journey of friendship that showcases the wonder of receiving a gift by mail, and the love both a grandma and child feel as they’re connected by a simple package from far away.
"Everyone likes receiving packages, and young readers will learn how one box travels to its destination while anticipating what surprise is in store for Sophia." —School Library Journal

"This story is absolutely the full package." —Kirkus Reviews
