In a world filled with anger and hatred comes a story that begins wi fear and rises.  A little girl perched on a seat in her living room watches the news blaring from the glat screen television.  The story over and over again is of "people against people" and "anger and hatred."

When you are young and small, this news can make you frightened.  Her face questioning and innocently hopeful, this little one goes to her parents to ask what she can do to make the world a better place.  The grown-ups will know what to do.

Told with an eye to diversity, this story leads us out into the world.   This wise father takes his daughter to show her what she holds inside, what she has to give and how those gifts can change the world for her and for others she meets.  Her mother shows her the same and she in turn, takes this power forward and teaches it to the boy across the hall.

This is a clarion call to each and to all  to understand that each of us has both the resources and the courage to give our empathy, kindness, and acceptance to others.

Down in the subway you find out no one is too small to make a big difference.
