What happens when one small act of kindness sets off a chain of giving that travels through an entire community?
From the beloved illustrator of La Tortilla Corredora, comes a circular story of generosity, creativity, and the joy of paying it forward.
When something kind is done, the next friend finds a way to do a little good, too! In this charming and heartwarming picture book, a delightful cast of animal friends discover the magic of helping one another in the most unexpected ways. From mending a beloved old jacket to fixing a treasured pair of glasses, from crafting colorful balls for playful little mice to building the dollhouse of tiny squirrel’s dreams, every good deed inspires the next.
With gentle text and vibrant art, One Good Turn captures the beautiful truth that kindness is contagious as each character asks the same curious question: "And now, as for me, what can I do?"

"Random acts of kindness, animals edition… this bottomlessly warmhearted Chilean import is punctuated with sound words (“Bang, bang, bang,” “Snip, clip, and snip”) and should have little ones anticipating and eventually reciting the rhythmically satisfying “And now, as for me, what can I do?” refrain... Simple idea, wonderful execution.”
