Someone shared this story at an education conference I attended and
I immediately ordered the full book for my daughter. It begins with
one ordinary girl's kind gesture to a neighbor--and follows along
as the first kind gesture begets another one, and another one, and
another one, and so on. It's a fantastic lesson in how small
gestures can have a huge impact.
"This book promotes positive behavior among kids. Though the story
is for young readers, I highly recommend it to adults as well. It
will surely make you feel good and will inspire you to do something
kind."--Monika, Bookstagrammer (11/16/2020 12:00:00 AM)
An ordinary girl from an ordinary school does a seemingly ordinary
good deed, but in doing so she changes the whole world. This book
has inspired real-life acts of kindness all around the world and
will leave you inspired to join in.--Sarah Lloyd-Jones (1/6/2020
