*Starred review from Kirkus

Everyone has the power to change the world, even children. All they need to do, encourages Tierney, is start small…, clean their room, or invite someone sitting alone to join them. Other steps are more nuanced: accepting people for who they are, never giving up on their dreams, and standing up to a bully without becoming a bully. Letourneau draws racially diverse children thoughtfully engaging with the wor…and amplify each step. The final step is a beautiful explication of forgiveness: “Forgiveness doesn’t mean what they did was okay…Forgiveness means that you decide you don’t want to be angry, and when the anger is gone, there is more space for happiness” It and the entire book were inspired by Eva Kor, a Holocaust survivor, who inspired may with her capacity to forgive.
