A Better Place

A Stretch2smart Book

Roberta and William are relaxing on their porch and watching their pets chase butterflies. But the mail brings something unexpected to Roberta, and soon things will change. An opportunity unfolds for them to put into action one of the greatest strategies for a powerful life: being kind.

Roberta discovers her town is moving forward with plans for a botanical garden to preserve plants for many generations. Hopefully, there will be enough like-minded people to make it happen, and she’ll even donate a quilt to the auction to help out. While waiting for the event to come together, she and William decide to take a fishing trip—one that turns out to be a bigger venture than expected when a strong storm hits!

This children’s verse follows the adventures of Roberta and William as they make plans to contribute to their community and find themselves on a fishing adventure.
