Aria is returning to school with a new helper-leg but it's uncomfortable to sit on the floor with her new leg. Aria decides to build a bench, and, despite the opposition of others to her task, she seeks out help and succeeds in building it.
A lovely story of an inspiring child filled with courage and daring.
