Tugi the Elf and the 12 Golden Bells: The Last Jar of Starberry Jam

There is only one jar of starberry jam left — and it would be very easy to keep something so special for yourself.

In The Last Jar of Starberry Jam, Tugi discovers the meaning of Bell 9 — Generosity. He learns that generosity is not about having a lot; it is about choosing to share what we can and letting someone else enjoy something we value too.

When Tugi shares the last jar, the ninth golden bell begins to shine. The story gives preschool and early elementary children a warm, concrete way to understand generosity, sharing, and the happiness that can grow when we include others.

Sweet, festive, and filled with Christmas warmth, Bell 9 is a natural family read-aloud for conversations about sharing treasured things, thinking of others, and giving with a happy heart. Bell 9 is part of Tugi’s twelve-story Advent journey and is also included in Tugi the Elf and the 12 Golden Bells — The Complete Advent Collection.
