About this book

Kindness rules the day! After finding a note on a park bench, one child's smile attracts crowds and skeptics. What did the note say? Why is the child smiling? There are surprising results in the end.

Parents who read to their children get to express their love in a special way during those fleeting years when children are young," Rasche said.The Note on the Bench is 26 pages long with 24 full-color illustrations.
