It begins with a crack that we can barely see, when we shout or when we disagree. However, every good deed we choose to show can lead to something good and magical that starts to grow.

Angry words cause a crack, but discover what happens when kindness starts to bloom in this thoughtful book by award-winning author and illustrator Britta Teckentrup.

This wonderfully illustrated picture book combines touching text with beautiful illustrations, showing us how the choices we make can bring us closer or push us apart. With vibrant artwork and pages that allow us to look inside, this is a story worth keeping. The cutouts in the pages allow you to watch the story unfold while the tender text reinforces the inspiring message that kindness can create something beautiful.
