Korlie can’t wait to be grouped with her best friends for the big class project. Instead, she gets four kids she barely knows. Out in the field, nobody says a word until Korlie decides to speak up first. What follows is one big school day full of small, brave moments: a kind word, a fair solution, a friend who helps without being asked. By the end, Korlie learns something she didn’t expect she’s been a leader all along, and so has everyone around her. Korlie and the Nature Collage is a warm, gentle story that helps kids spot the leader already growing inside them.
