Bookroo's summary

In the heart of East L.A., a Mexican-American family navigates a world of contrasts—where glamour meets hardship. Amidst the chaos, they find solace in a community bound by unexpected kindness. As they encounter moments of generosity, they begin to see the power of small acts to change lives. What secrets does this vibrant neighborhood hold, and how will these acts of goodwill shape their future? Dive into a story where hope and humanity shine through the cracks of a bustling city.

From the publisher

Award-winning picture-book author Tony Johnston presents the poignant story of a loving Mexican-American family in East L.A. in her first novel for young readers.Los Angeles is a place of movie stars and fast cars and people who are too rich and people who are too poor. An area of freeway chases and drive-bys and death. But there’s another L.A., one where warmth and humor and humanity pervade. Where a tacqueria sign declares: “One cause, one people, one taco.” This L.A. is a place where random acts of generosity and goodwill improve the lives of the community. Any Small Goodness is a novel filled with hope, love, and warmth.
