The Missing Piece

35 Story Challenges for the Whole Family

Do you really know what happened?

Someone cuts the line. A friend doesn’t wave back. A promise gets “forgotten.” Ouch… or is there more to it?

This collection drops you into head-scratching moments where people act the wrong way—at least, that’s how it looks. Your job: spot the clues, imagine possibilities, and hold your judgment. Then turn the page to see what you missed. Each short story trains your dan l’chaf zechus (judging others favorably) muscles—so you become sharper, kinder, and slower to jump to conclusions. You’ll practice thinking like a detective and caring like a friend.

Open the book. Look closer. And change the way you see people.
