In a cozy 1920s chocolate shop, the special ingredients in each
perfect treat are empathy, generosity, and thoughtful acts of
kindness. Eight-year-old Daniel cherishes the hour he spends every
morning helping his Great-Uncle Lewis in his chocolate shop. They
mix, temper, pour, and mold. "It's magic, my boy," Uncle Lewis
says. And Daniel agrees. When a new girl named Sarah joins his
class, Daniel sees how lonely she is and begins sneaking chocolates
into her desk. Seeing Sarah light up after each treat is
wonderful...but then Daniel starts noticing other classmates with
troubles. Soon he is hiding more and more chocolates until the
exciting day when everyone in class receives one, even the teacher!
The best part is, no one knows it's him. But then, when Daniel is
the one feeling sad and alone, who will know to comfort him? In
Cocoa Magic, Gabrielle Grimard's rich and nostalgic illustrations
transport readers to a cozy 1920s chocolate shop and a stiff brick
schoolhouse that somehow learns to be warm as well. In her text and
her closing author's note, clinical social worker Sandra Bradley
celebrates the wonders that happen when someone meets another
person's need to be seen and understood-even through the smallest
act of kindness.
