Description



About the Book



A young girl tries her hardest to respond to devastating news as compassionately and empathetically as possible in this charming debut picture book. Full color.



Book Synopsis



Sometimes the news can be too much. This reassuring picture book helps young children understand difficult news events, process big feelings, and find comfort in community, kindness, and hope--empowering families to have gentle, honest conversations about the world around them.

A "timely text" with "emotions...sensitively portrayed throughout... Affirming the resilience that can result when small acts are focused on community." - The New York Times

"Appropriate for many situations children face in today's never-ending news cycle. An absolute-must for...libraries." - School Library Journal

When devastating news rattles a young girl's community, her normally attentive parents and neighbors are suddenly exhausted and distracted.

At school, her teacher tells the class 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 act of kindness instead . . . and then another, and another.Small things can compound, after all, to make a world of difference.
