Bookroo's summary
In a bustling city, two young siblings witness acts of unexpected kindness: a tattooed man helps an elderly woman, a Goth teen returns a lost wallet. As they navigate the urban landscape, they learn that despite the scary stories they hear, most people are good at heart. This heartwarming tale challenges the fear-driven narratives of the world, offering a comforting reminder of humanity's inherent goodness. Will these small acts of kindness change their perspective on the world around them?
"When you see something bad happening, you may soon see someone trying to help. The helper might be you! Someone is always there being good, because being good is what most people do."
— from the book
From the publisher
Michael Leannah wrote Most People as an antidote to the scary words and images kids hear and see every day. Jennifer Morris’s illustrations provide the perfect complement to Leannah’s words, leading us through the crowded streets of an urban day in the company of two young children. We see what they see: the hulking dude with tattoos and chains assisting an elderly lady onto the bus; the business man helping the girl who has fallen from her bike; the family showing concern for the homeless woman; all the myriad interactions of daily life. Most People is a comforting response to the dreadful news reports that surface far too often in our world today.
