One Person

If only one person were there to hold your hand, so many things would be different. Discover the transformative power of kindness in this spare, beautifully illustrated story that shows how a single act can make someone feel seen, valued, and hopeful.

​

All it takes is one person to make you feel invisible, unseen.

​

And all it takes is one person to stand by your side, to make you feel seen, to plant a seed of hope.

​

Which one do you want to be?

​

Spare, poetic prose and subtle, poignant artwork tell a universal tale of the power of one to hurt and heal, reject and welcome, tear down and raise up. In lonely, difficult times, one simple spark of kindness can spread from one person to another to another until we all are one.

“Touching….a story readers will understand, with the important reminder that they can choose the person they want to be….Lovely ... for beginning a discussion about kindness and modeling the behavior we would like to see in others.” — School Library Journal
