 Great lessons July 24, 2008

Every child should read this book to instill empathy and the belief that anything is achievable with human kindness and compassion. I purchased 2 copies of this book: one to keep and one to donate to my daughter's school. I strongly believe that these are principles and values that should be taught early in a child's life so that they are able to change the world.

Two of my grandchildren read this inspiring story to the third grandchild and me as we made dinner. After the meal, we decided to send money to one of the opportunity companies. Each grandchild contributed $2.50 of their chore money they had earned by raking leaves, moving gravel, cooking, and picking up sticks. Thanks to all those responsible for this book.

This book is a great way for families to teach their children about the value of giving and the effect a small kindness or gift may have on many lives. The illustrations are an added plus. It is a good and easy introduction into microfinance and how one person can help make the world a better place
A Great Read for All Ages April 14, 2008

This book is terrific. We can so easily fall into thinking that our world is limited to the things we see everyday, and the book is a great journey through what life is like in so many parts of the world today.
I recommend reading this with your kids, your students (if you have any), and even just for your own personal enjoyment.
Also, the book has sparked a great website as well, which helps to educate young and old on the merits of microloans -- http://www.onehen.org.
Great resource and education for global poverty and micro-finance April 12, 2008
Book (Beverly, MA)
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This little children's book shows how big the world is. One Hen simplistically shares a personal story of a little boy who buys a hen and how it impacted his life, family, entire village, and country. Beyond just micro-finance, One Hen communicates global poverty, community development, family values, charity and justice issues. helpful to begin educating American children in a "me, me" culture about not just giving to those who are poor and disenfranchised but how to give in such a way that has sustainable, holistic effects on an individual and community.
