New Praise for The Secret Kindness Agents from Erin Gruwell, Lester Laminack, Cheryl Lage, and Dr. Peter Smith!

“In an age where teens are passionately plugged into virtual reality, but tragically tuned out to the world revolving around them, the Secret Kindness Agents prove that it is possible to unplug, reconnect, and spread love and joy. Inspiring and heart-warming, The Secret Kindness Agents will leave any reader feeling hopeful.” Erin Gruwell, Founder of the Freedom Writers
“Kindness is a weed. It doesn't need rich soil and pampering. It doesn't need much attention at all. But, give it even a crevice in the hardest rock and it will find a way to thrive. In this small volume, Ferial Pearson leads a group of high school students on a journey of discovery about the power of kindness to take hold and multiply when given even the slightest chance.” Lester Laminack, S.K.A. “Sting,” award-winning educator and bestselling author of Bullying Hurts: Teaching Kindness Through Read Alouds and Guided Conversations
"This is a story about the real meaning of education. It’s not about becoming a better producer or consumer; it’s about becoming a better human being!" - Dr. Peter Smith S.K.A. "Hopeful" - Associate Professor, College of Education, University of Nebraska at Omaha.
“Want to cultivate kindness? Experience the description-defying pleasure of bringing joy to another human - voluntarily? Clandestinely? Daily? Rejoice! Thanks to Ferial Pearson, you now have a guidebook. Secret Kindness Agents: How Small Acts of Kindness Can Really Change the World is the must-have for would-be Secret Kindness Agents (SKAs) of all ages.”  - Cheryl Lage,  S.K.A. “Sprinkles,” author of Twinspiration  and Twinfatuation. com
