It all starts with a crack that we can hardly see,
It happens when we shout or if we disagree.
But with every kindness that we care to show
Something good and magical will begin to grow.

Angry words cause a crack to open up, but find out what happens when kindness begins to blossom in this thought-provoking book by award-winning author and illustrator Britta Teckentrup.

This beautifully illustrated, affirming picture picture book pairs poignant text with gorgeous illustrations to show us how the choices we make can bring us together or drive us apart. With vibrant artwork and peek-through pages, this is a story to treasure. Die-cuts let you peep through the pages to watch the story unfold and gentle text reinforces the inspiring message that kindness can grow something beautiful.
