Where Dignity Grows: Stories of Self, Others, Nature, and Community
ByPublisher Description
What does it mean to be a person of dignity? How do we build a kinder, more compassionate world?
This collection of 20 heartwarming and engaging stories, created by young authors, is a thoughtful exploration of these big ideas. From a compassionate squirrel who learns to share his winter stash to a young girl who discovers the power of helping others, these tales offer simple yet profound lessons about the importance of kindness, respect, and community. The book was written for fun as part of a youth literacy program, and the authors hope you enjoy these stories.
Inspired by the five guiding principles of Global Dignity Canada, these stories remind us that dignity isn't just an abstract concept; it is an action we can choose to take every day. It's a perfect read for families, classrooms, and anyone who believes in the power of a single good choice to change the world.
