How Will You Make a Difference? Boxed Set : Trying; Noticing; Caring

Empower and inspire young readers with this illuminating collection of stories by New York Times bestselling author Kobi Yamada and artist Elise Hurst. Each of the three books—Trying, Noticing, and Caring—share a unique and powerful life lesson, from resilience, to perspective, to deep empathy and compassion.

What if one person can make a difference? And what if that one person was you? This mentorship-themed boxed set includes three stunning and powerful children’s books—Trying, Noticing, and Caring—inviting young readers to try new things, look with their heart, and remember all the good they can put into the world.

Each book features an older, accomplished mentor and a young person just beginning their journey of discovering their talents:

• Trying: A kind sculptor invites an aspiring apprentice to realize that failure is an important part of the process.
• Noticing: An accomplished painter and her young protégé explore the forest and discover the joy in slowing down to observe the world’s wonders.
• Caring: A young boy and a devoted gardener reflect on a desolate piece of land the mentor transformed into a lush oasis.

The detailed artwork in every book features hidden and whimsical details, a signature element of the series. From shadowy lions watching with care, to cloud horses galloping across the sky, to stone sculptures peeking through a waterfall, every page invites readers to take a closer look. As you move through each rich scene, the mentors offer their unique wisdom—and each book culminates with a forever-valuable lesson that will guide readers for years to come.
