One Is The Starting Point For Change
Change begins with one person standing up for what is right. And one act of kindness can start a chain reaction.
A lyrical tale as simple—and simply inspiring—as the golden rule, The Power of One shows how one act of kindness begets another, creating a chain reaction of kindness that ripples throughout a community.
