Even the smallest voice can make an impact, as these entries in the Community Connections: How Do They Help? series attest. In simple, clear text ideal for kids comfortable reading alone (more complicated words are highlighted and defined in a glossary), these books explain how young people helped with problems they witnessed in their communities. The child at the heart of Alex's Lemonade Stand underwent extensive treatment for neuroblastoma and wanted to help other kids with cancer, so she started a lemonade stand that eventually transformed into a global foundation. The bright, photo-illustrated layout is attractive, and regular sidebars invite readers to think critically and creatively about the stories presented. An inspiring resource for independent readers.
