ISBN: 9781600609701.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA collection of original poems centered on giving and spontaneous acts of kindness, which also incorporate larger themes of community, intergenerational relationships, young mentors, and care for the environment.\n\"The spread of warmth\nshould have no bounds.\"\nMaking a difference in the world can be as simple as planting a tree, giving up your seat on a bus to a disabled person, or training a puppy to become a guide dog. These are just a few of the simple acts of kindness featured in this collection of fourteen original poems. Each poem emphasizes the compassion and the joy of giving. Representing diverse voices-different ages and backgrounds-the collection shows the bridging of boundaries between people who are often perceived as being different from one another. The first step in bridging those boundaries is to extend a hand.\nJohn Frank is an accomplished poet and the author of several childrens books, including three highly-praised poetry collections. Coupled with London Ladds emotive illustrations, Lend a Hand demonstrates that empathy and social awareness can start at an early age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Lee \u0026 Low Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44976774250549,"sku":"ByrdShop_1600609708","price":32.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781600609701_32ea26ba-23dc-431f-8f5b-c34f86ce1e1b.jpg?v=1778843496","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/lend-a-hand-poems-about-giving-9781600609701","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
