So maybe if they work together they just might do it. A heartwarming story about four kids who overcome their differences and take on the world. 'An absolute gem of a book!' Maryam Master, author of No Words "The Kindness Project shows us the strength and transformative power of kindness. Told with tenderness and creative verse, this book will sweep you off your feet and live in your heart permanently." Zanni Louise, author of Queenie in Seven Moves
