A heartwarming verse novel from beloved Australian children’s author Deborah Abela.

Ms Skye thinks kids can change the world
with a Kindness Project.
Nicolette wants to
but how can she
when Layla treats her like she’s invisible
and DJ picks on everything she says?
Leaf thinks Nicolette can be a
superhero.
So maybe
if they work together
they just might do it.

A heartwarming story about four kids who overcome their differences and take on the world.

‘An absolute gem of a book!’ Maryam Master, author of No Words
