Peter's Power
Peter's family doesn't have a lot of money, but that doesn't stop him from helping others in need. When a new boy named Mark starts at Peter's school and has no lunch to eat, Peter shares his two homemade slices of bread with him. Mark reveals his parents can't find any work, so they can't afford food. But Peter has a plan to help his new friend-a plan that may just help everyone get what they need.

I won this ARC via a Goodreads Giveaway in exchange for a fair and honest review. Thank you for the book!
5⭐'s, there's so much to love about this story. Not only is it relatable for many children out there but it also shows them how they can help their friends and be aware of what friends might be going through.
I loved that Peter immediately tried to help someone with less than him even though he didn't have much. I love that his mom was so willing to help by sending bread the next day even though they also did not have much. And then it was great to see the ripple effect of Peter's kindness and how it spread throughout their community and they were able to build something from it.
The story was great that illustrations were great and my 8 year old loved this book. We talked about food insecurity and ways we can help beyond our school food drives. Great story for inspiring that conversation.
I love and recommend this book, it's one we will certainly reread.

My family all really enjoyed this story. It provides a great example of kindness, inclusion, and overcoming barriers. Sometimes, the smallest acts can have the biggest impact. Highly recommend this for kids, teachers and classrooms.
