Small choices, lasting consequences

When Maya, a new student, tries to join Chloe and her friends, they turn her away. A classroom lesson about how kindness can spread gives Chloe a new perspective on those encounters and the friendship she did not welcome. The story connects an everyday school situation to a broader question: what can one small act of kindness change? Its focus on exclusion, friendship, and reflection makes the social theme concrete for young readers.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 exploring kindness and friendship
  • Families and educators looking for a story about exclusion and empathy
  • Young readers discussing how everyday choices affect others

Book overview

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.
