Little Goes a Long Way

"Little Goes a Long Way" is a lushly illustrated picture book geared towards children between the ages of 3 and 10. Author Silene Bochner Corn crafts a relatable hero for children, a small bird whose unique abilities, combined with persistence and teamwork, enable him to achieve far more than his doubting peers think he can. The story will encourage children, when faced with challenges, to try and make a difference, even if they may not feel they have much to offer. The little bird's humility and understanding of the power of teamwork make him a different kind of leader than the bigger, bossier animals. In a subtle way, the little bird's efforts show children that they should not judge others by their appearance, but instead by their peer's good intentions and acts of kindness. The book is written in simple, evocative language that will draw young readers in and make them want to read the book over and over.
