Featured Book:  A Little Kindness Goes a Long, Long Way




Meet Rodney—basketball fan, video game champ, and occasional argument “winner” (heavy on the occasional). In A Little Kindness Goes a Long, Long Way, Rodney discovers that being right isn’t nearly as powerful as being kind. When a heated disagreement with his classmate Jose turns into something neither of them feels great about, Rodney learns there’s more going on beneath the surface. With a little courage, a PlayStation, and some good old-fashioned teamwork, what starts as a clash turns into a friendship—and a ripple effect of kindness that changes two families in ways no one saw coming. Packed with humor, heart, and just the right amount of “aha!” moments, this story shows kids (and the grown-ups reading along) that small acts can lead to big change. It’s about sharing, listening, and maybe—just maybe—not trying to win every argument. Perfect for families, classrooms, and bedtime giggles, this book is a reminder that kindness is contagious… and way more fun than being grumpy. Want more feel-good stories like this?
