Bookroo's summary
Chloe and her friends repeatedly reject Maya, the new girl at school. When Maya stops coming, Chloe is left to ponder the impact of her actions. A lesson on kindness reveals the profound difference small gestures can make, leaving Chloe to wonder how things might have been if she'd reached out. Can a single act of kindness truly change the world?

WINNER OF A CORETTA SCOTT KING HONOR AND THE JANE ADDAMS PEACE AWARD!
Each kindness makes the world a little better
This unforgettable book is written and illustrated by the award-winning team that created The Other Side and the Caldecott Honor winner Coming On Home Soon. With its powerful anti-bullying message and striking art, it will resonate with readers long after they’ve put it down.
Chloe and her friends won’t play with the new girl, Maya. Every time Maya tries to join Chloe and her friends, they reject her. Eventually Maya stops coming to school. When Chloe’s teacher gives a lesson about how even small acts of kindness can change the world, Chloe is stung by the lost opportunity for friendship, and thinks about how much better it could have been if she’d shown a little kindness toward Maya.
