Emily Pearson

illustrated by Fumi Kosaka


Join Ordinary Mary and the kindness crew on their quest to change the world, one school at a time.
Follow Mary in this feel-good story as she once again inspires others with positivity and kindness through a variety of ordinary deeds!
Including examples that happened at schools as a result of using the first book, this book focuses on the ability kindness has to change an entire school. Can one child's good deed change the world? It can when she's Ordinary Mary - an ordinary girl on her way to her an ordinary bus stop and an ordinary school - when with one act of kindness she makes a friend. Through her school day, Mary's courage and kindness spreads, reaching farther than could ever be imagined.
