About the Book

In a small village in Mozambique, ElleJay met a family who had almost nothing - a tiny mud hut, long walks for water, very little food. After spending time together, the mom quietly sent her son away… and he came back with two full bags of oranges. For ElleJay.

They gave her everything they had - with joy.

That day taught ElleJay something uncomfortable and unforgettable: what she once called “generous” wasn’t generous at all. True generosity isn’t about how much you give - it’s about how much it costs you.

It echoes the story in Mark 12, where a poor widow gives two small coins - worth almost nothing, yet worth everything.

Two coins. Two bags of oranges. Same lesson.

That’s where Give Oranges was born. 🍊
