The Kindness of Children

Paley, a former kindergarten teacher and award-winning author, visited a London nursery school and witnessed the kindness that the children extended to a handicapped boy named Teddy. That story draws forth other tales of impulsive goodness from Paley's listeners, and resonates through this book as one story leads to another.
