... this story (actually out of Wisconsin) that made it to the local newscasts this holiday weekend.
And if you haven't yet heard the news, it celebrates a group of first graders that got together to arrange for a new doll for a member of their class with cerebral palsy ... and they got American Girl to create one that exactly matched the girl's situation (glasses, wheelchair and a matching outfit [all the way down to the special footwear]) -- which ultimately led to the smile in the accompanying photo.
To which all I can say is "yes please -- more of THIS is exactly what the world needs". Would that we all were as accepting of others as this group of first graders.
