Lala's Words: A Story of Planting Kindness by Gracey Zhang
This book celebrates the unassuming power of kind words and is the perfect book to share during the month of February. Every day, no matter how hot, Lala carries a pot of water around the corner to a patch of dirt and concrete, waters the tiny weeds, and whispers words of encouragement. When mom no longer allows her to go, she whispers words of love out her window with magical results. You will experience what happens when when kind and compassionate words are spoken.
Hello, Star by Stephanie V.W. Lucianovic and Vashti Harrison
What an inspiring story about a love of science and the importance of empathy. The young girl learns that a bright light in the sky is coming from a dying star and promises to keep it company until the light goes out. As the years pass, the girl learns everything she can about planets, space, and the universe until she realizes she needs to do something more. Her love of science propels her to become an astronaut. That small act of compassion flourished into a life full of meaning and wonder.
