February 2012: Love your neighbor

Cover of the February issueLove your neighbor is the theme for the February issue. You'll make a basket to welcome a new baby. You'll read about a child bringing soup to a sick neighbor; Ruth, who helps her family sell tomatoes in Malawi; Alli, who learns when to whisper in church; and Robin Roberts, who talks to God before doing anything else.
