"How can I make a difference in the world? I'm just an ordinary kid!" That may be true, but you can still make your life a gift to others. This book by thirteen-year-old author, spokeschild, and world traveler Sondra Clark describes how even small actions can make a big difference. In You Can Change Your World!, Sondra shows step by step how to become closer to your family, make your school and community stronger, and volunteer to help others. Watch for cool ideas like these: * Slip an "I love you" note in your Dad's pocket. * If you see someone sitting alone at lunch, invite them to sit with your group. * Organize a glove and hat drive in the winter and donate items to a shelter. * Be a volunteer tooth brusher at a crocodile ranch (Oh! This is one you don't want to get involved with.) * Read to residents of an assisted living center. * Help out at a wildlife center or nature habitat. Though she's had some extraordinary experiences, Sondra has found plenty of everyday ways to make a difference. It begins, she says, by doing something nice for someone else. But once you start, watch out: You never know where one act of kindness may lead you!
