Ordinary Mary's Positively Extraordinary Day

Follow Mary in this feel-good story as she once again inspires others with positivity and kindness through a variety of ordinary deeds.

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. Throughout her school day, Mary’s courage and kindness spreads, reaching farther than could ever be imagined. Including real-life examples of that happened at schools as a result of reading Ordinary Mary's Extraordinary Deed, this new book focuses on the ability kindness has to change an entire school.
