Description
Sammie Vance was eight years old when she noticed classmates sitting alone at recess. She had an idea: a buddy bench, where a kid who needed a friend could sit and be found. What she did next — collecting bottle caps by the thousands, turning them into benches, and putting them on playgrounds across the country — became a movement. This is her story, in her own words, for readers who are ready to make a difference of their own.
This new edition brings the story up to date, with the latest Buddy Bench numbers. Ages 9–12.
