About these stories
Stories about the small things: saying thank you at the table, sharing bread when there is not much, being kind in the ordinary ways that add up. Alongside them, three true-hearted tales — an elephant whose kindnesses come back to save her watering hole, young Rosa Parks standing up for a friend, and Jackie Robinson's mother teaching him that the best answer to cruelty is excellence.
This is the shelf for a bedtime that ends with a conversation. Every story closes with a question to talk about, and the questions here are the ones that matter: who was kind to you today, and who could you be kind to tomorrow. Ages three to six, about five minutes each.
