Josh and Ollie are in Year 5 at their local primary school but have never spoken to each other. Josh was friends with Andrew who lives next door and is a couple of years older. However, Andrew won a scholarship to a prestigious high school and Josh rarely sees him. Ollie loves sketching and making art from twigs and other natural things. When Josh’s teacher shows the class a short news bulletin about people helping others in a variety of different ways, from donating money to charities, visiting lonely elderly people and delivering food hampers. Josh is inspired to perform his own acts of kindness. Ollie separately shows kindness by leaving pieces of artwork for a lonely-looking boy she sees sitting in the park. Unknown to Ollie, the boy is Josh’s neighbour Andrew. An uplifting story about the power of small acts of kindness through the eyes of three children with autism.
