📘 Tell me why
 by Eric Walters

A powerful, inspiring book for any young person who wants to make a difference. "I just want to know: why do you think that people treat each other the way that they do? Is there something that happened to you that made you want to help people? And, finally, what, if anything, do you think one kid can do to make a difference?" Responding to the searching questions of a thoughtful thirteen-year-old, more than twenty-five influential, inspiring figures - including Canadians Roméo Dallaire, Robert Munsch, Marc Garneau, Lynn Johnston, Rick Hansen, and many others - have shared their wisdom, their experience, and their convictions about how to counter suffering, cruelty, and darkness.
