Little Things

Trimmer Christian Trimmer

Description

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.

A NOTE ABOUT SEA STARS:

Sea stars are beautiful and delicate creatures that live and breathe underwater.

If you discover a sea star on the beach, it should be handled with care

with gloves or clean hands (free of lotions and sunscreens).

Please do not take them out of the water for any reason-they don t like it!
