Pay It Forward Kids

Small Acts, Big Change

Description

14 Kids…14 Stories…Countless Hearts Touched
In Pay It Forward Kids, readers will meet ordinary kids from across North America who have done extraordinary things, all on their own initiatives. They have set out to "pay it forward" to someone else, with astonishing results. The ripple effect of their deeds have inspired others to join their causes, and in some cases, to start missions of their own.
These kids have raised both money and awareness for causes such as homelessness, human rights, orphans, and literacy. They've rescued child slaves, provided hope to the sick, and comfort for the dying. They've also enabled others to enjoy pleasures that many people take for granted.
These powerful stories demonstrate that you're never too young to make a difference or to improve the life of another. Kindness can be done by anyone…you just need to step up and start.
A percentage of all royalties from this project will be donated to the official Pay It Forward Foundation to continue to support this message and work.
