One girl's simple act of kindness causes ripples in her community in this witty, heartwarming story about paying it forward
The day after a mighty storm, a little girl finds a sea star that has
washed up on shore, and she returns it to the ocean. Seeing her small
act of kindness, an old man heads to an animal shelter with his grandson
to pick a dog in need of a home. His grandson feels inspired to help an
elderly woman clean up her yard, which inspires a teenager to pack an
extra lunch for someone in need, and on and on until each small gesture
builds toward a magnificent conclusion.
Full of humor, heart, and
proof of the generosity that we all have inside of us, Christian Trimmer
and Kaylani Juanita's story is a welcome reminder: It's the little
things that make a big difference.
