“Kids don’t often get a chance to help others outside their families in meaningful ways. This book may change that.” — Kirkus Reviews
¿PODEMOS AYUDAR? ¡Sí, pueden!
No importa si tienes ocho o dieciocho años: puedes ayudar a que tu comunidad sea un mejor lugar. Observa cómo los niños de este libro tejen gorros y bufandas para personas que no tienen suficiente ropa de abrigo, empacan comida caliente para entregársela a quienes no pueden salir de sus casas, adiestran perros de asistencia para personas con discapacidades, mantienen limpios los caminos, sirven de tutores a niños más pequeños, y colaboran de muchas otras maneras.
In one after-school program, middle-school students mentor and tutor younger children. Via a special partnership, schoolchildren help professionals train assistance dogs for people with disabilities. At a community farm, families plant, grow, and harvest produce for soup kitchens and charities. Real kids make a real difference in their communities in this vibrantly photographed chronicle by George Ancona.
George Ancona (1929-2021) was an award-winning author and photographer of more than one hundred books for children, many about arts and culture. He wrote and photographed Boys Dancing: From School Gym to Theater Stage; Can We Help? Kids Volunteering to Help Their Communities; and It’s Our Garden: From Seeds to Harvest in a School Garden.
