It has been a long time since you have read a book with the sheer emotional impact of One Child. --New York Times

The true story of a tormented six-year-old and the brilliant teacher who reached out.

Six-year-old Sheila never spoke, she never cried, and her eyes were filled with hate. Abandoned on a highway by her mother, unwanted by her alcoholic father, Sheila was placed in a class for emotionally disturbed children after she committed an atrocious act of violence against another child.

Everyone said Sheila was lost forever, everyone except her teacher, Torey Hayden.

Torey fought to reach Sheila, to bring the abused child back from her secret nightmare, because beneath the rage, Torey saw in Sheila the spark of genius. And together they embarked on a wondrous journey--a journey gleaming with a child's joy at discovering a world filled with love and a journey sustained by a young teacher's inspiring bravery and devotion.

--Nickolas Butler, internationally bestselling author of Shotgun Lovesongs and The Hearts of Men

A hit with 17 Mo Grandson
Format: Hardcover
Bot for 17 mo old grandson. The words were too much for him to understand but he loved the bright color pictures. We had to read it 3 times the first day. It is very sturdy so he can turn the pages easily. The sentiments used are very good and the characters very diverse.

Sweet book
Format: Hardcover
This is a book that opens up dialogue about kindness with children. The world is less kind than it used to be. The pictures are fun and relatable.

Amazing book
Format: Hardcover
Mom of 2 littles and I love this book! There is so much inclusion and it allows me to have conversations with my children about kindness, those with disabilities, and those of different colors than them. Bought a copy for every family with kids that I know!

One of the sweetest, most adorable books I've seen
Format: Hardcover
I don't write reviews as often as I should, but I felt compelled to write one for this adorable book. The pages are nicely illustrated with big, bold colors and the message could not be sweeter. I can't wait to read this with my daughter. I think it will become a household favorite.
