Editorial Review: Product Description: It can when she’s Ordinary Mary—an ordinary girl from an ordinary school, on her way to her ordinary house—who stumbles upon ordinary blueberries. When she decides to pick them for her neighbor, Mrs. Bishop, she starts a chain reaction that multiplies around the world. Mrs. Bishop makes blueberry muffins and gives them to her paperboy and four others—one of whom is Mr. Stevens, who then helps five different people with their luggage—one of whom is Maria, who then helps five people—including a man named Joseph who didn’t have enough money for his groceries—and so on, until the deed comes back to Mary. It’s a feel-good story that inspires and celebrates a world full of ordinary deeds! Emily Pearson is the co-author of Fuzzy Red Bathrobe: Questions from the Heart for Mothers and Daughters. Emily and her two children live in Salt Lake City, Utah. This is her first children’s book. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Misses the markI love the concept behind this book -- that ordinary, everyday kindnesses can have far-reaching results. But the book was simply too long and complicated for young children to understand. I tried to read this to my four-year-old, and she had little patience for the wordy story. She also showed absolutely no interest in the mathematics of how one person can affect many. And my older kids (ages 8 and 10) found the story too simplistic. While I love the story, it misses the age groups ... Read More Rating:  - ExcellentThis is a fabulous book to share with children of all ages. I am a Principal of an Elementary school and we used this book as our book of the month, sending it home after it was read in school for students to share with their families. The author had some great insight in writing this book. Thanks Emily! Rating: - Great book!!!My kids at school loved hearing about how 1 act of kindness affected the entire world. We turned it into a schoolwide project with everyone doing acts of kindness and they really got into it! Makes everyone realize how interconnected we all are and how we all affect each other, even in small ways~! Rating: - Gets Message Across!This is a wonderful book to teach the meaning of paying it forward with kindness. My third grade students absolutely loved the book! They were amazed that one bowl of blueberries could make so many people happy. One person can make a difference!! Rating: - Ordinary Mary's Extraordinary DeedI love this little book. I've given it to 7 people so far. It reinforces the fact that one person can make a difference. I like the idea that we don't have to do something big, but it is often the small things that make a big difference.
