Lunch Every Day

Age 4+

A true story about a boy named Jimmy who takes another kid's lunch at school every day. But through the power of kindness, he is transformed into a compassionate human being.

Every day Jimmy takes ‘Skinny Kid’s’ lunch at school. No way will he be caught dead standing in that FREE LUNCH line. Even when he’s called into the principal’s office, Jimmy just shrugs. “Yeah. Whatever.” Until a surprising act of kindness stops him in his tracks. For a split second a door cracks open into Jimmy’s heart. Who knows? Maybe he’ll just kick that door right open.
