Discovering Why Kindness Counts!

Respect, Empathy, Responsibility, Integrity, and Forgiveness are themes covered in The Potato Chip Champ.

This past year, I've worked with nationally recognized author Maria Dismondy on her previously blog tour and created several mini units to align with her cute books: Spaghetti in a Hot Dog Bun and Pink Tiara Cookies for Three.  I'm honored to work with her again this year!

So, who is Maria?

 

Maria Dismondy is born and raised in Michigan.  A graduate from Michigan State, she holds a M.A in education, curriculum, and research with 10 years as an elementary teacher and reading interventionist before becoming an author.  She has authored four books: The Juice Box Bully {empowering kids to stand up for others), Spaghetti in a Hot Dog Bun {having courage to be who you are),  Pink Tiara Cookies for Three (having empathy for others), and most recently The Potato Chip Champ (discovering why kindness counts).  

This cah-ute book takes you on a journey between two boys from different backgrounds with very similar desires!  

Champ and Walter Norbert Whipplemoore are about as different as two kids can be…well, except for their love of baseball and potato chips. Champ had everything, but always wanted more. Walter had very little, but was never seen without a smile on his face. In the end, it is Walter and some crunchy potato chips that teach Champ a lesson about character that can't be taught in school
