They even mix and match their lunches, with Selah swapping her mom’s homemade arroz con pollo for Ami’s packaged cookies. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe only snag in their friendship? Ami isn’t allowed to cross the log bridge that spans from Meadow Park to Selah’s neighborhood. According to her dad, Mr. Thrash, it’s a dangerous place, full of criminals. Selah, of course, disagrees. She doesn’t see danger; she sees neighbors walking down sidewalks and visiting Mr. Rodriguez’s corner store. She doesn’t see criminals; she sees kids of all backgrounds playing hopscotch together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOn the day Ami defies her father and steps onto the log bridge, many things begin to break: Ami’s arm, Selah and Ami’s friendship, and the ties that once connected their two communities. What’s more, Mr. Thrash becomes determined to build a fence between Meadow Park and Selah’s “dangerous” neighborhood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFacing the prospect of losing her best friend \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eand \u003c\/em\u003eher favorite park, Selah takes action by tapping into her most valuable resource: her community.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBut can she gather enough support to defeat Mr. Thrash’s proposal to build a fence? And will she ever mend the rift between herself and Ami? All she can do is speak her truth and count on people to see the humanity in others.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Flying Elephant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32050159190085,"sku":"","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0174\/6442\/6560\/products\/coverimage.png?v=1611773501","url":"https:\/\/store.upliftingimpact.com\/products\/selahs-bridge","provider":"Flying Elephant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
