Each year, millions of people pass by countless red kettles and bell ringers raising money for the Salvation Army. Many people see the ringers as distractions, some find joy in giving, and others see a meaningless and routine obligation.
In this compelling and simple children's story, The Bell brings to life a small hand bell creating a central character named Bella. Helpless and afraid, Bella is certain she will never make a sound again unless someone can help restore her as a beautiful ringing bell. Through Bella, readers will reflect on those in their life who saw more potential in them than they ever could while finding meaning and beauty in a simple holiday tradition.
