PRODUCT INFORMATION

Description

A heartwarming and tender look at some of the big and small ways we can make a difference in the world, from the team who created the multi-award winning and bestselling What to Say When You Don't Know What to Say and What to Do When You Don't Know What to Do.

A tissue for a tear.

A cloth to clean.

Somewhere to stay.

Something to snuggle.

A warm-hearted exploration of some of the big and small ways we can all make a difference in the world, no matter our age - at home, around the neighbourhood, at school and in the community.

How to Help When You Really Want to Help explores everyday situations, sharing how to spot opportunities for helping others and showing the comfort, happiness and satisfaction that helping can bring.

From award-winning and much-loved author Davina Bell and critically acclaimed illustrator Hilary Jean Tapper, How to Help shows little readers how to be an active participant in making the world a kinder place, no matter your age.
