A girl seeks to uplift her community with small acts of kindness amid unsettling news.
In a shaken community, a young girl finds her parents distracted and her world altered. Inspired by her teacher's advice to seek out helpers, she embarks on a journey of small acts of kindness. Can these tiny gestures spark a ripple of change? As she navigates her desire to make a big impact, she discovers the power of resilience and optimism. Will her efforts be enough to mend the hearts around her? This heartfelt tale explores how even the smallest actions can make a world of difference.
When devastating news rattles a little girl’s community, she struggles to know how to cope. Her normally attentive parents are suddenly exhausted and distracted, and nothing she does seems to cheer them up. At school, her teacher tells her to look for the helpers-the good people working to make things better in big and small ways. She wants more than anything to help in a BIG way, but maybe she can start with one small thing instead… and then another, and another? Those small things can compound, after all, to make a world of difference.Both timely and timeless, this beautifully illustrated picture book from debut author/illustrator Sarah Lynne Reul touches on the themes of community, resilience, and optimism with an authenticity that will resonate with readers young and old.
