Based on a true story from Archbishop Desmond Tutu's childhood in South Africa, Desmond and the Very Mean Word reveals the power of words and the secret of forgiveness. When Desmond takes his new bicycle out for a ride through his neighborhood, his pride and joy turn to hurt and anger when a group of boys shout a very mean word at him. He first responds by shouting an insult, but soon discovers that fighting back with mean words doesn't make him feel any better. With the help of kindly Father Trevor, Desmond comes to understand his conflicted feelings and see that all people deserve compassion, whether or not they say they are sorry. Brought to vivid life in A. G. Ford's energetic illustrations, this heartfelt, relatable story conveys timeless wisdom about how to handle bullying and angry feelings, while seeing the good in everyone.Binding Type: Hardcover

Great price, easy install; fit
Size: 25" 22" 15"
Great price, easy install; fit My Volkswagen Tiguan 2023 S. Glad I waited for next day delivery instead of going to autozone where comparable wipers cost $45 and that was WITH two coupons!! It would have been $60 without. The ONLY thing that could be better is warning you to make sure when you’re pressing in the wiper that you hold it from the very top or else your finger will slam down into the trap part and it will hurt like heck and make you bleed (personal experience this afternoon…) Otherwise great. Took off one star for that but maybe Im the only person thats ever happened to? (Im doubtful.) its not directly related to the product itself but just would be a helpful tip for ANY windshield wipers to include!

High Miles on Auto
Needed this O ring for my Honda. It works well and does what is expected. The rubber is flexible and not frayed or hardened. Easy to use and a decent price. So far there has been no issues with the o ring, no leaks, tears or damage.

Great replacement o-ring
I had to do some work on my Honda that required me to remove the steering pump. Any time you do that, you should replace the top o-ring. This o-ring was an exact match to the original and fit just fine. I popped it in and torqued it down to spec. It's holding a great seal and I've seen no problems with it. Good replacement in that it functions just like it should!
