Kleine Dinge können Großes bewirken. Mit jedem Lächeln und jeder kleinen Freundlichkeit wird die Welt ein kleines bisschen sonniger. Und dieses Buch liefert Kindern die Ideen, kreativ und witzig Freude zu verbreiten. Etwa den 'Umgekehrten Diebstahl', bei dem man etwas Schönes in die Tasche eines anderen schmuggelt. Oder wie wäre es mit einem Applaus für den Schulbusfahrer? Auch mit einem Kompliment auf einem geschickt versteckten Zettel kann man jemandem den Tag versüßen. Nette Menschen sind glücklicher, und glückliche Menschen sind wiederum nett zu anderen Menschen – so kann eine kleine Geste eine ganze Lawine an Glück auslösen!
