Descripción: Kids teaching kids how to make the world happier, prettier, friendlier, kinder, safer, smarter, accepting, and loving. It’s easy!Taken from the life lessons of Eva Kor, Auschwitz child survivor, this title empowers children by offering concrete, simple actions that can change reaer's own lives, their community, and even the world. Charming illustrations bring lightness to a book with serious ideas that work."The simplicity of the 12 easy steps in this book is disarming and deeply moving. This no-fuss guide counts on children's humanity for its force, rather than spirituality or any whiff of religious thought, and in doing so, its impact is immense." —School Library Journal, starred review"A touching and beautiful guide to consideration and kindness." —Kirkus Reviews, starred review"Eva's greatest magic was her ability to connect with children, to introduce them to their own unimagined capability. This astonishing little book captures her spirit beautifully and will help to grow world-changes for generations to come." —Ted Green, Filmmaker of award-winning documentary Eva A-7063From School Library JournalK-Gr 3-The simplicity of the 12 easy steps in this book is disarming and deeply moving. Tierney quietly introduces matter-of-fact instructions that have the lived veracity of a wise old soul: "Did you know you have the power to change the world? It's easier than you think. Start small. Make your bed and tidy your room." It moves to more complicated moments of social interaction: "If you see someone who needs help, volunteer to help them. Is someone being bullied? Stand up to the bully with them. But don't bully the bully." After the revelation of these 12 steps, accompanied by friendly, almost folkloric scenes of cityscapes and playgrounds, an extended author's note reveals the source of these gentle insights. Eva Kor survived a concentration camp when her family did not. She found that she was happier when she chose to forgive the people responsible for this tragedy, and developed her map of how to be human. There are admonishments woven in, to forgive but remain distant from people who have caused harm and may cause harm again, for example. Children are told to hang on to their dreams and be their best selves, and the world, it seems, will be better, too.

I highly recommend this book!"-- Nadine Briggs, CEO, Simply Social Kids*Starred review from KirkusEveryone 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 spa
