Editorial Reviews

Review

Someone shared this story at an education conference I attended and I immediately ordered the full book for my daughter. It begins with one ordinary girl’s kind gesture to a neighbor―and follows along as the first kind gesture begets another one, and another one, and another one, and so on. It’s a fantastic lesson in how small gestures can have a huge impact. (Steph Auteri Book Riot 2019-12-03)

An ordinary girl from an ordinary school does a seemingly ordinary good deed, but in doing so she changes the whole world. This book has inspired real-life acts of kindness all around the world and will leave you inspired to join in. (Sarah Lloyd-Jones 2020-01-06)

From the Inside Flap

Can one good deed from an ordinary girl change the world? It can when she's Ordinary Mary--an ordinary girl from an ordinary school, on her way to ordinary house--who stumbles upon ordinary blueberries. When she decides to pick them for her neighbor, Mrs. Bishop, she starts a chain reaction that multiplies around the world. Mrs. Bishop makes blueberry muffins and gives them to her paperboy and four others--one of whom is Mr. Stevens, who then helps five different people with their luggage--one of whom is Maria, who then helps five people--including a man named Joseph who didn't have enough money for his groceries--and so on, until the deed comes back to Mary. It's a feel-good story that inspires and celebrates a world full of ordinary deeds!
