Each Kindness, by Jacqueline Woodson

This is a beautiful story! Kindness, as demonstrated by the teacher in the story, has a ripple effect, and it is within each kindness that we are able to touch and change the world, the future. Chloe, the main character, is unwilling to reach out to the new girl in class. She and her classmates ignore and shun the new girl in the class Maya. It is only after Maya is gone that Chloe realizes the importance of each kindness and regrets her behavior. 

This is such a good story about character, simply written but powerful in message.
