Ms. Snowden and her class practice sending kind thoughts to the
people they love, and they launch
a class Kindness Project. There is only one
problem: Henry can't think of one kind thing he has done. Declaring that
kindness is stupid, he stomps to the classroom door on the verge of tears, but
his classmates save the day by reminding him of the kind things he has done for
each of them.
