"Today feels full of opportunities," said Stillwater.

"What would you like to do?"

"Something important!" said his nephew, Koo.

"Let us save the world!"

But that's such a big job.

The world is so big.

And Koo is just a small panda.

During the course of the day, Koo straightens his room, feeds his cat and the hungry fish outside, and he bakes a cake to welcome new neighbors. He even helps a family of ducklings to safely cross a street. But still, Koo wonders, how will HE ever save the world? At the end of the day, Uncle Stillwater has the answer:

"You did so many things today that made the world a better place.

And each time you do the right thing--you save the world a little bit."

In a story brimming with love and light, Jon J Muth shows how we can all heal the world a little bit at a time -- just the right message for now -- and always!
