Ordinary Mary's Extraordinary Deed

by Emily Pearson
illustrated by Fumi Kosaka
Mary's just an ordinary girl, but when she does a good deed of picking blueberries for her neighbor, she starts a chain reaction that goes around the world, until it comes back to her. Reminding one of the "Random Acts of Kindness" movement, this goes one step farther and comes full circle.
This is one of our favorite kids stories of kindness
due to the darling illustrations. Additionally, we like that the acts
of kindness are small ones, definitely activities that children can
relate to in their own lives.
Interest Level: 2nd grade - 3rd grade
Peek Inside:
Below are sample spreads from inside Ordinary Mary's Extraordinary Deed.
As you can see, the illustrations are super darling. You probably can't
read the small text in our little sample spreads, but these pages
essentially show the acts of kindness spreading through the community.
We love Fumi Kosaka's cute illustrations! You can check out her other books by click on the images below or here. :)
