Whether you like the taste of coffee or not, it is widely accepted that everyone at least loves the smell of coffee. The coffee bean is the source of the coffee that we drink. It is the source of the aroma in the room. Abe, the central character, takes the lessons from a coffee bean to transform his life. His life was filled with many negative thoughts. One day after class, Abe’s teacher shared a powerful message with him. This message allowed him to live his current life for the better, not the worse. It gave him power and will give each reader the same.

This was a very clever, positive read that took about twenty minutes. It is a very creative way to communicate a simple message. I would recommend it for families with young children to read together and discuss.
