Publisher Description
Each kindness makes the world a little better.
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.Download and start listening now!
“Lyrical and stylistically tight writing…gives opportunity for countless inferences and deep discussion…With growing income disparity and bullying on the rise, this story of remorse and lost opportunity arrives none too soon.”
— School Library Journal (starred review)
