Crafting for a Cause

Maddy and Darcy can’t wait to begin their gift-wrapping business to buy presents for the awesome grown-ups at their school. They invite Maddy’s new neighbor, Amina, to join them. Amina is from Syria. She had to leave her grandparents behind, but is excited to experience life in America and be part of a group. The girls busy themselves with crafts and learning about social media.
