Finders keepers, right? When Ruben picks up someones lost money, he finds out how hard it can be to do the right thing.Ruben feels like he is the only kid without a bike. His friend Sergio reminds him that his birthday is coming, but Ruben knows that the kinds of birthday gifts he and Sergio receive are not the same. After all, when Rubens mom sends him to Sonnys corner store for groceries, sometimes she doesnt have enough money for everything on the list. So when Ruben sees a dollar bill fall out of someones purse, he picks it up and puts it in his pocket. But when he gets home, he discovers its not one dollar or even five or ten-its a hundred-dollar bill, more than enough for a new bike just like Sergios! But what about the crossed-off groceries? And what about the woman who lost her money? Presenting a relatable story told with subtlety and heart, the creative team behind Those Shoes pairs up again for a satisfying picture book.
