When devastating news rattles a young girl's community, her normally attentive parents and neighbors are suddenly exhausted and distracted.

At school, her teacher tells the class to look for the helpers--the good people working to make things better in big and small ways. She wants more than anything to help in a BIG way, but maybe she can start with one small act of kindness instead . . . and then another, and another.Small things can compound, after all, to make a world of difference.
