Not Too Little To Make a Difference

Excellent story with beautiful illustrations, ma shaa Allah ❤️ My daughter really enjoyed it. Books like these are great for showing children how to appreciate the education and easy lifestyle they live compared to other children in other parts of the world.

Love this book!

Excellent story that teaches our kids how lucky they are to be able to attend school without thinking twice. And many more lessons to learn

A thoughtful & endearing story unlike any other. This story tugs at the heart strings while opening up all the ways we learn in & outside of school. A story that will make readers think about what it feels like not to be able to attend school.

A beautiful new book from Lela Goldsmith about how no one is too small to make a difference❤️

Sofia loves school, but when their crops are ruined, her mom is unable to pay the fees. Sophia helps her mother in the field, but is really sad. So she devises a plan to get the fees herself. She makes tamarind juice, feeds a donkey to help his owner win the race, and collects every penny. But when it all doesn’t add up, she has to find the strength to write from her heart even when it isn’t in school.

I just love books that are about the importance of learning, and I love how this book was about learning even when you aren’t in school. I love how Sofia tries to figure out her problem herself and finds her value in her heart and writing for herself rather than anyone else.

The illustrations were absolutely breathtaking, and I just loved how authentic it was to the authors own experiences and the authors home country!

A beautiful book for our library shelves❤️
