What happens when one small boy picks up one small piece of litter? He doesn't know it, but his tiny act has big consequences. From the miniscule to the universal, What Matters sensitively explores nature's connections and traces the ripple effects of one child's good deed to show how we can all make a big difference.

Horn Book Review

A boy who puts a discarded soda can into the recycling bin doesn't think his action matters much. But as the boy walks further along, the text explains that it mattered to an ant, a worm, "a dandelion that would have wilted," and so on. The digital mixed-media illustrations, while pleasant enough, do little to elucidate the obscurely laid out eco-message. (c) Copyright 2017.
