 Here's how `false` renders in different contexts:

+For parent-child communication, simply [pass props](/react/docs/multiple-components.html).
+
+For child-parent communication:
+Say your `GroceryList` component has a list of items generated through an array. When a list item is clicked, you want to display its name:
+
+```js
+/** @jsx React.DOM */
+
+var GroceryList = React.createClass({
+  handleClick: function(i) {
+    console.log('You clicked: ' + this.props.items[i]);
+  },
+  
+  render: function() {
+    return (
+      <div>
+        {this.props.items.map(function(item, i) {
+          return (
+            <div onClick={this.handleClick.bind(this, i)} key={i}>{item}</div>
+          );
+        }, this)}  
+      </div>
+    );
+  }
+});
+
+React.renderComponent(
+  <GroceryList items={['Apple', 'Banana', 'Cranberry']} />, mountNode
+);
+```
+
+Notice the use of `bind(this, arg1, arg2, ...)`: we're simply passing more arguments to `handleClick`. This is not a new React concept; it's just JavaScript.
