This book can quickly be described as "Chicken Soup for the Soul" meets "Freedom Writers". Kids and teens were asked to answer three thought-provoking questions. These youth were challenged to reach out for support from a teacher, parent(s), or fellow students to compose their answers. They discovered they have truly made a difference in the lives of others. All participants in the book emerged from this experience with a sense of self-worth they may or may not have realized before.

Take a moment to research this organization and see the great work they are doing in the world. Thank you! "This is the right book, for all the right reasons.
