A Ribbon on the Street
An Unexpected Gift
They can be dyed every color of the rainbow or cut from any pattern, and they show up in all kinds of places. Ribbons are full of possibilities! If you found one lying in the street, what would you do? What would you think?
Maybe you’d wonder how it came to be there, or who might have earned it and why they did.
Maybe you’d wonder why you happened to find such a mysterious thing.
There are lots of questions, but only one needs an answer: What will you do with this unexpected gift? Ribbon’s lively illustrations and thought-provoking lines breathe life into Best Story Alive’s playful rhymer.

James Edward Best has been a father, a husband, a coach, a manager, and a leader. In all these roles, he had a lot to learn. Jim found that we all need “life lessons,” but that this learning does not always come easily. He founded Best Story Alive to share life lessons in “Fun Stories for Living & Learning.” Whether that’s through Petie, who realizes it’s wrong to steal in The Irate Pirate, or the child who gives Ribbon a special meaning, there’s something to share, learn, and apply to everyday life. Jim thanks you for reading along.
