About this item

A lyrical and timely story about a little girl who learns the power of kindness, bravery, and friendship in the face of uncertainty. When the news reports are flooded with tales of hatred and fear, a girl asks her papa what she can do to make the world a better place. "Come with me," he says. Hand-in-hand, they walk to the subway, tipping their hats to those they meet. The next day, the girl asks her mama what she can do - her mama says, "Come with me," and together they set out for the grocery, because one person doesn't represent an entire race or the people of a land. After dinner that night, the little girl asks if she can do something of her own - walk the dog . . . and her parents let her go. "Come with me," the girl tells the boy across the hall.
