• Woodson, Jacqueline. EACH KINDNESS

  Woodson, Jacqueline. EACH KINDNESS New York : Nancy Paulsen Books, 2012 IL K-3, RL 2.8 ISBN 0399246525 When was the last time you treated someone kindly? Was there a time when you could have been kind, but chose to be mean instead? Do we treat others the way we would like to be treated? Maya is a new student. She wears second hand clothing, broken sandals, and obviously comes from a poor background. She tries to make friends, but is rejected by Chloe and her friends who make fun of Maya and refuse to include her. When Maya’s family has to move and she is no longer there, Chloe begins to feel guilty and sorry for the way she behaved. How can she ever make up for her hurtful behavior toward Maya? This meaningful and emotional story about a lesson in kindness will cause you to reflect on how you behave toward others. (Pennsylvania Young Reader's Choice Award nominee, 2014)
