Reach for this book when your child is feeling anxious about starting school or seems overwhelmed by how to make friends in a new environment. It provides a concrete, visual roadmap for how one small gesture can transform a room full of strangers into a supportive community. The story follows a diverse classroom where simple acts, like sharing a snack or helping with a spill, spread from person to person like a game of kindness tag. By focusing on low pressure, everyday interactions, it helps children ages 3 to 7 understand that they have the power to change the 'color' of someone else's day through empathy and small, manageable actions. It is an ideal choice for building social confidence and teaching the ripple effect of positive behavior.
