Any small goodness: a novel of the barrio - tony johnston

Filled with hope, love, and warmth, this novel describes a Los Angeles far different from the place of movie stars and very poor people--a place where random acts of generosity improve the lives of the community.

Award-winning picture-book author Tony Johnston presents the poignant story of a loving Mexican-American family in East L.

in her first novel for young readers.

Los Angeles is a place of movie stars and fast cars and people who are too rich and people who are too poor.

An area of freeway chases and drive-bys and death.

But theres another L.

, one where warmth and humor and humanity pervade.

Where a tacqueria sign declares: One cause, one people, one taco.

This L.

is a place where random acts of generosity and goodwill improve the lives of the community.

Any Small Goodness is a novel filled with hope, love, and warmth.
