Have you ever wondered if what you do matters? This is the story of leaning in, digging deep, believing it's possible, and making the effort. It only takes one caring person to make an impact, and we all matter much more than we realize. The power to create change--to help heal and hold the world--is in every one of us. After all, we all have the potential to make someone's day, lend a helping hand, and be there for each other. Written by New York Times bestselling author Kobi Yamada and illustrated by award-winning artist Elise Hurst, Caring is a tale about the power we each have to create change when we decide the difference we want to make. Alluring illustrations capture the relationship between a young boy and a devoted gardener who has transformed a desolate piece of land into a lush, natural oasis. Each page of this picture book is a reminder of the joy in the doing, the giving, and the connecting. Because when you care about something, we owe it to ourselves to give it our best. After all, the value of a life is measured by the lives it touches.
