The Sweetest Trade

domenawilder

Sela never thought about how much kindness could mean—until she learned about goods and services in school. Goods are things you can buy, like cupcakes, and services are things people do for others, like helping or sharing.

When Sela gives her friend Noah a cupcake, he later helps her with math. That’s when she realizes: kindness is its own kind of trade! But when she hears sad news about someone getting sick from bad food, Sela struggles with big emotions. With the help of her family, she learns that even when bad things happen, kindness still makes the world a better place.

From helping her classmates with a Kindness Challenge to learning from neighborhood helpers, Sela discovers that the more kindness you give, the more you receive in return.

A heartwarming story about generosity, gratitude, and the power of small acts of kindness!
