Mightywaybooks Presents: Kids and Kindness - Encouraging stories for children 8-13.

In our last episode, it was the night before the big block party and Rachel had difficulty sleeping because she still hadn't finished her poem. Aunt Marion surprised Rachel and Veronica with beautiful new dresses in their favorite colors. Things took a turn for the worse when an unexpected storm appeared and put their event in jeopardy.

Last week, Rachel and her friends were challenged to recognize their individual gifts and talents and encouraged by her Aunt Marion to present them to the community. Rachel finally admitted that she liked to write poetry. However, the problem she faced was finding the confidence and the courage to share one of her poems with everyone.

In our last episode, Rachel and the girls were excited to hear that they were not just going to have a beauty pageant and Double Dutch demonstration, but the event was going to be a neighborhood block party.
Veronica also learned a lesson about the rules of Double Dutch - first you turn, then you jump.
At this point, all the girls were looking forward to sharing something wonderful with their community.

Last week, Rachel, Veronica, and Marguerita agreed to have a Double Dutch demonstration and a beauty pageant for the community but didn't know where to begin. Things began looking up when they met with Mrs. Agnes Miller. They hoped she had the answers they needed to get started. Instead, she challenged them to do what they could and told them to come back to her in two weeks. They wanted to show Mrs. Miller some progress, so the girls knew it was time to get to work.

In our last episode, Rachel began to see Veronica differently. One she learned of Veronica's illness; she understood the reason behind her cousin's bad attitude and why she had not been given the chance to meet any of Veronica's friends.
