From acclaimed authors Kate Foster and Kate Gordon, a special story about being kind to others... and yourself.
There are people everywhere who need help, who might seem okay on the outside but arent on the inside. People whose whole entire day can be changed ...
Josh wants a friend but he doesnt know how to find somewhere to belong
Ollie wants to express herself but doesnt want to be noticed
Small Acts introduces two kids with great hearts who know that helping others can start with one small act of kindness. Josh has a plan to start with just that. So does Ollie. What Josh and Ollie dont know yet is that they need each other to make their plans work.
Kate Foster is a children's author writing about friends, family, and dogs. Originally from a small town in the south east of England, she now lives on the stunning Gold Coast in Australia with her family and second-hand dogs. She is passionate about encouraging and teaching a wider understanding of autism and mental illness via positive approach and representation.
Kate Gordon grew up in a very bookish house, in a small town by the sea in Tasmania. After studying performing arts and realising she was a terrible actor, Kate decided to become a librarian. She never stopped writing and, in 2009, she applied for and won a Varuna fellowship, which led to all sorts of lovely writer things happening. Kate's first book, Three Things About Daisy Blue, was published in 2010. Her most recent publications are the middle-grade novels in the "Direleafe Hall" series, and Asters Good, Right Things, which won the CBCA Book of the Year for Younger Readers.
