As he does every Saturday afternoon, Mason is digging next to the old swing when he finds a handful of items for his treasure collection...

Mason’s Greatest Gems is a story about finding hidden gems inside yourself, with an introduction to the concept of virtues for children. The book features a little boy who learns about mining gems after finding a treasure in his backyard.
