Welcome to any new visitors from the Mom It Forward site.
Today I'm sharing a book my daughter checked out from her school library a few weeks ago that I think must have been written about Jyl Johnson Pattee (founder of Mom It Forward) when she was a little girl.
Ordinary Mary's Extraordinary Deed, by Mary Pearson, is about an ordinary girl who does a simple act of kindness (sharing blueberries) but each person passes a kindness on and it grows to help billions of people. My 7-year-old loved this book and read it by herself then got excited to explain to me what Mary did. She "got it." It even has a chart at the back showing how the kindness spreads.
Jyl started the Mom It Forward social media community to help other women, their families and community. In connection with this, she hosts weekly Twitter Girls' Night Out (#GNO) parties that make a positive impact world wide. She is also co-founder of the EVO Social Media Conference which I attended last summer in Park City, Utah. It was there that I made the decision to blog about my passion for children's books.
